CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri women's soccer (6-5-5, 2-3-4 OVC) played to a 0-0 draw on Sunday afternoon against UT Martin (5-7-6, 2-2-5 OVC) in the final regular season game of the 2023 season.

Sunday's match marked the final game at Houck Field for seven Redhawks seniors in Emma Brune, Faith Liljegren, Kiana Khedoo, Natalie Jackson, Maddie Paulson, Megan Heisserer, and Zoey Memmel.

The Redhawks were outshot 8-4 by UT Martin as both teams really struggled to find much on the offensive side of the field.

Sophomore goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink was in-form once again. The Columbia, Mo.-native was sharp between the posts once again as she recorded five saves including a nice diving stop to her left to deny UTM.

Nearing the end of the first half, freshman Emily Baker was shown a yellow card for a foul.

Six Redhawks played the full 90-mniute shift on a warm afternoon in Cape Girardeau as the defensive back line of Jackson, Paulson, and Jakul remained very solid as the Redhawks recorded the second-straight shutout of the week.

Emma Brune, Zoe Houston, and goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink were the other three to play the entire match.

Four different Redhawks recorded a shot in the contest. Emma Brune, Faith Liljegren, and Kiana Khedoo each recorded a shot (on target). Melissa Kubin also fired a shot towards the UTM net, but it was off target.

The Redhawks will now turn their focus to the 2023 Ohio Valley Conference tournament as the league's seventh seed. SEMO will be in action on Friday, Oct. 27 in either Edwardsville, Ill. or Evansville, Ind. First kick is still TBA.
