The bottom of the barrel is where Southern has been since their outing in conference competition in the past two matchups, including their homecoming break-up with Prairie View.
The luck of the Jaguar has not been theirs so far especially by the passing through of Hurricane Patricia which ravaged through Mexico.
The defense crumbled to allow too many goals into the fray which allows stress for the only goalie; sophomore, Kendra Lewis to extend her practice into reality.
Southern has relinquished three or more goals in the past five matchups and hasn’t capitalized since the win on Alcorn State on September 27, 2015.
These outings were no different as the visit to Arkansas which ended in a bumbling loss.
This drops their record (1-7, 1-14) and scrapes the barrel above Alcorn State which they are dead last.
With the first matchup, the Lady Jaguars saw their demise in the first period when UAPB sought for three goals and capitalized on them each and individually. Karissa Fenwick of UAPB crushed her first goal of the season in the 26th minute and strictly after that business was booming, but not for the Jaguars. Fenwick burst into the goal once again in the 34th minute and the 43rd minute.
For the month of October, it screamed nightmare for the defense for the rising MVP of the game to blast through when Fenwick attempted her best in this game.
UAPB outshot Southern 10-5 in the first period in which Southern in the early part of the period was shooting straight for the goal but each and every time, goalie, Makayla Cowles caught each and every last save, except for the wide right shot by red shirt sophomore defender, Ohnieka Campbell.
Before the first goal by Fenwick was scored, SU substituted for Christen Blair and the goals ensued.
In the second period was a break period for Southern until the pesky foul charge on Southern which substituted senior, forward Jami Blackston and freshman defender/forward Janell Velasquez for sophomore midfielder, Jessica Perisco and junior defender, Brooke Callahan-Darby.
Then Perisco was subbed for sophomore forward, Syndey Mitchell.
UAPB was about defense this period as two shots were attempted by Southern and one shot was given a wide right shot and then one blocked shot caused the whole game to shift into another lead.
Fenwick scored another goal in the 74th minute which was their last goal of the game and crested a surefire victory for their squad.
Fenwick ended the game with 6 shots, 5 of them which were shots on goal and 4 goals.
The team outshot Southern 15-7 in which Southern had chances to score but Cowles wouldn’t realize that fate.
UAPB rested their players by making necessary substitutions and the period ended accordingly.
Southern was supposed to have their matchup with Grambling State on the SWAC Digital Network but no news was sought of their victory or defeat.
The Lady Jaguars will attempt to ascend to the charts against Jackson State University when they take a trip to Jackson Mississippi on October 30, 2015 which concludes their gaming in the season.
