Missouri State - 1
Tulsa Golden Hurricane - 0
Another positive result at Plaster this afternoon as the Lady Bears got the job done against their regional foes from Oklahoma. The goal was scored from a set piece, when Christine Cross was taken down on a hard tackle in front of the Bears bench. Sophomore Jordan Reppell came up from her sweeper position and her ball into the box was well-weighted, with senior Allie Osmundson’s header falling into Jenna Laughlin’s path. Laughlin’s header in the 59th minute, moments before colliding with the goal-keeper, was all the margin the Bear’s needed today to move to 3-1 on the season.
The game was a back-and-forth affair as both teams worked to get numbers into the box. The Hurricane were coming off a strong game in Fayetteville Friday night, where they shut out the Razorbacks. The same team that shut out the Bears a week ago. The difference today was a team that showed more pace and fight, certainly taking more responsibility in the defensive third this time around as the Hurricane had two excellent chances late, including in the final minute.
Missouri State’s goalkeeper Jackie Jasper was tabbed with the win recording five saves in the match. With the victory, Jasper is tied with the most goalkeeper wins (33) in Missouri State history.
