On Saturday, September 9, the Lady Jags lagged behind the Mcneese State University Cowgirls, with a 0-4 game loss adding to their current 0-4, 2017 season record.
Within the first ten minutes of the game, the Cowgirls came in with power by starting with sixteen attempts at the goal and successfully following through.
Head women’s soccer coach, Jeremy Fontenot, says, “We worked on a new formation this week, so miscommunication was a problem we had.”
The Lady Jags came back breaking through Cowgirl defense with sophomore, Sophia Zavala, and senior, Ayana Williams, to make two shots and one attempt at the goal but were unable to follow all the way through.
By the second half, the Lady Jag defense began putting up a fight only allowing nine attempts at goal.
Senior, Kendra Lewis, added six blocks from this game to her season total adding up to a career record of 159 saves.
The Jags took a slight slip when a free kick was called against them leading up to the game ending score of 4-0 for The Cowgirls
“Our biggest issue is trying to stay healthy and having our girls who are injured back to playing a full game.” said Fontenot.
Coming back from this game loss will be put to the test when the Lady Jags take on Nicholls State University on September 17, a team that has already faced the Jaguar conference competitors. This will be the first time they meet this season.
Hopefully with the hosting of three home games, a sort of advantage can improve the game play of the Lady Jags, Fontenot says, “…. Our girls are already prepared for those games right now…. we’re looking for a big turnout around these next three games, because we haven’t been at home,” Fontenot continued, “ I think we could match up to them and help prepare us for the next coming games.”
The Lady Jags will be put to the test with conference games, starting September 22 and September 24, as they will face Texas Southern, Arkansas Pine-Bluff and Prairie View A&M University.
