Let's Recap
Southeast Missouri opened OVC play going 1-1 last weekend. League play opened with a 1-0 shutout of Eastern Illinois on Friday. Natasha Minor scored the lone goal of the match just before halftime. The defense worked to hold EIU to just four shots in the match en route to the shutout. The Redhawks suffered a 2-0 loss on Sunday at conference rival SIUE. The Cougars netted the game-winner in the 35th minute then added to the lead 28 seconds into the second half. The offense was stymied as SEMO only put three shots on goal in the match. Defenders Alexis Hacker, Shay Darga, and Maddi Karstens played all 180 minutes on the back line last weekend.
