Jaguar Soccer Leaves New Orleans Winless

Early into this 2019-2020 season, the Southern University Women’s Soccer Team haven’t had too much to prowl about, having already lost their first two games of the season. In their most recent game against Stephen F. Austin, the Jags looked to break their early losing streak. 
The University of Louisiana-Lafayette (ULL) Ragin Cajuns started off in rhythm early with a goal by senior Katherine Whittman, which tallied up to her second goal of the season, coming off an assist from freshman Rachel Sutter. 
The first half of the game saw the Ragin Cajuns take an early 1-0 lead, with good defensive play from both teams carrying over into the second half of play. Southern’s sophomore goalie Chioma Eriken had a total of six saves in the second half of the game. 
Ragin Cajuns midfielder Una Einarsdottir hit a goal midway through the second half, her first of the season followed by another ultimately game ending goal by (Soph) forward Skyla Sykes.
The Lady Jags were presented multiple opportunities in the game with chances to compete down the stretch, but wide shots by Cordney Armstrong and forward Lauryn McKinney late in the game soured any thoughts of a Jaguar victory. 
Dropping the game with a score of 3-0, the Lady Jaguars couldn’t muster up a comeback against the Cajuns late in the second half. 
“When you play teams of that caliber like ULL, you have to take chances and we didn’t,” said head coach Jeremy Fontenot after the game.
Ultimately, the season is still in its early stages, but without a win on the board yet, Southern’s head coach Jeremy Fontenot will have a lot that he wants to see his team improve on as the Jags look forward to SWAC play. 
The Lady Jaguars will play Troy in their home opener at Jaguar Park on Friday September 13 @5pm to kickoff their home schedule.
