CARBONDALE, Ill. – After four days off from competition, Southern Illinois soccer (9-3-2, 3-2-0) was back in action on Friday when they visited Murray State (6-4-4, 1-1-3). A late first-half goal by the Racers proved enough to beat the Salukis, who fell 1-0.

Inside the Box Score

Dory Latenser and Nao Katamoto led the offensive charge, both putting two shots on goal.
Olivia Anderson and Michelle Betancourt also had multiple shots in the game.
Reagan Miller made seven saves in net.

How It Happened

First Half
Both teams put a shot on goal in the opening 10 minutes, but neither attempt was able to find the back of the net. The Salukis continued keeping the pressure up, tallying four of the next six shots on goal, but Murray State's goalkeeper refused to let one past.

Then, with less than four minutes remaining in the half, Murray State got on the board to take a 1-0 lead. The Racers put another shot up in the closing minutes, but it sailed wide right, keeping the Murray State lead at 1-0 heading into the halftime break.

Second Half
Murray State came out firing in the second half, registering two shots on goal less than eight minutes in. Southern responded with one of their own, but still could not find an equalizer.

Following a Racers' shot on goal that Miller took care, SIU had two of the final three shots on goal in the match. Unfortunately, Murray State's goalkeeper remained unbeaten to secure the shutout and the Salukis' 1-0 defeat.
