Lady Jaguars clipped by Alcorn State in Mississippi

The Southern University Woman’s Soccer Team (1-7, 1-1) traveled to Lorman, Mississippi to play the Alcorn State University Braves (0-3, 0-1) on Friday, September 30, for their second SWAC game of the season. The Lady Jags had a tragic outcome of their trip to Alcorn. The shots attempted in the game were very high unlike other games where you had Alcorn State having 17 shots and the Lady Jaguars having 13 shots in the whole entire game. In the first period of the game, the Lady Jaguars did not have any luck on scoring points due to them not being able to contain the Braves when Alcorn’s Yaira Guradado made the first goal for the Braves which really put the Jaguars on a very uneasy foot. What made it even worse was when Alcorn’s Comfort Agyei made the second shot for Alcorn which made the Jaguars deficit even greater making the score 2-0 in the first period of the game.
But after the first period the coach must have given the Lady Jags a very good talk which included them being able to hold the Braves a little, but not enough because Alcorn was able to score adding one more point to their lead making the score 3-0 with the braves ahead. To the Jaguars advantage, freshman Forward, Akosua Allen, of Baton Rouge, LA made the first goal which was from 30 Yards for the Jaguars assisted by Sophomore Forward Jillian Edwards of Woodbridge, VA making the score now 3-1. With this score the Jags now had a little momentum to get them back in this game to try and go ahead and secure a win. They went on to get another point from freshman forward Sophia Zavala from Phelan, CA, making the score 3-2.
But unfortunately the Jags were not able to score again for the rest of the game and allowed the Braves Rita Okoro to score another goal for the Braves making the Score 4-2 and ending the game, which gave the Jaguars an upsetting, lost to them. The Lady Jags need to make a change to their approach in their game plan to secure these SWAC wins that they need to be able to continue through there season and be able to contend in the championship and bring back the trophy to the Jaguars. The Next two games on the Schedule for the Jags is Howard University on Sunday October 9, 2016 at 1:00 PM at Jaguar Park and against Alabama State University on Friday October 14, 2013 at 6:00 PM at Jaguar Park which makes this two Home games for the Lady Jags. So make sure to come out and support the Lady Jaguar Soccer Team.
