Slow Start Haunts Golden Eagles in Loss

Box Score
TULSA, Okla.-The Golden Eagles continue to struggle on the road, as they fall to Missouri State, 2-0.

The Golden Eagles (2-5-1) gave up both goals in the first half, and they couldn't overcome the deficit, suffering their fourth consecutive road loss. Missouri State (4-3-1) put together their third straight shutout, allowing just five goals on the season.

Missouri State got on the board in the 36th minute with sophomore Shelby Stewart's second goal of the season. Then in the 44th minute, Logan Bisbee ended the nights scoring with a laser from 20 yards out. The goal was the senior defenders first of the season.

The Golden Eagles offense was only able to produce seven shots, a stark contrast to Friday night when they dominated time of possession against Rogers State and had 24 shots. Missouri State had 21 shots on the night, 13 of them coming in a scoreless second half.

Senior keeper Amanda Wheeler got the start, but would not finish the game, as freshman Helen Erb played the second half of the match. Wheeler one save and gave up two goals, while Erb contributed five saves. The Golden Eagles are still looking for a consistent option at keeper.

Senior keeper Jessica Teahan contributed four saves before being replaced by junior Chelsea Voet in the 65th minute.

The Golden Eagles will return home to open their conference schedule against Southern Utah on Friday, September 16 at 7 p.m.
