CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri women's soccer (6-5-3, 2-3-2 OVC) fell 1-0 on Sunday afternoon to Ohio Valley Conference-leading Tennessee Tech (7-4-4, 6-0-1 OVC) at Houck Field.

Senior midfielder Emma Brune was selected as the Player of the Match playing the entire 90-minutes, registering two shots with one on-target.

SEMO was outshot by TTU, 9-6, including a 7-3 disadvantage in shots-on-goal. Brune and Emily Baker led the Redhawks with two shots each.

Six Redhawks played the entire 90-minute match including the entire back line of Natalie Jackson, Maddie Paulson, and Alayna Jakul. Midfielders Zoe Houston, Emma Brune, and goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink played every minute of Sunday's contest.

Elfrink finished the match with six saves total, two in the first half and four in the second, allowing just one goal in the contest.

Tennessee Tech controlled possession for most of the match, out possessing the Redhawks 55-percent to 45-percent.

TTU scored their goal 10-minutes into the second half. A corner kick, setup by a good bit of attacking play, from Yao Giada Zhou found the head of Neve Renwick right in front of SEMO's goal.

Renwick headed it into the top right corner of the net to beat Elfrink for the game-winning goal.

SEMO's best chance of the contest came from redshirt senior Megan Heisserer late in the first half. A stumble in the TTU backline gave Heisserer the ball one-on-one with TTU goalkeeper Maggie Conrad.

Heisserer fired it low and hard as Conrad recorded one of her three saves. She finished with three saves in the full 90-minute match.

SEMO soccer will be back in action on Thursday, Oct. 19, when they travel to Evansville, Ind. to take on Southern Indiana. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m., CT.
