CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - Southeast Missouri (3-7-1) recorded its first Ohio Valley Conference win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Morehead State (2-10-1) Sunday afternoon at Houck Field. 

SEMO scored two goals to put the Golden Eagles away early.

The Redhawks started the game with only 10 players on the field instead of the normal 11. This was done in honor of former SEMO standout Meg Herndon. Sunday's game was also the debut of the Green Up team jerseys, which the Redhawks wore to raise awareness about organ, eye and tissue donations while honoring and celebrating organ and tissue donors, donor families, and transplant recipients.  

SEMO had 11 shots on the day with Esmie Gonzales, Cassidi Tomsu and Katie Lever all taking two each. The Redhawks also had four shots on goal.

Gonzales, who received the ball from Jordan Nelson, scored the first goal of the contest. Nelson kicked the ball into the box after there was a foul called on Morehead State. SEMO took a 1-0 lead just seven minutes into the game. 

The Redhawks extended their lead to 2-0 with a goal from Morgan McCourt. McCourt got the ball from Emily Holten, who kicked it in on a corner kick. The score remained 2-0 after the 10th minute goal.

Freshman Bailey Redden recorded the first shutout of her career. Redden had three saves in the match and faced only six shots by Morehead State. 

SEMO returns to action when it travels to Tennessee Tech on Oct. 5.
