CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Senior midfielder Emma Brune slotted the game-winning goal as Southeast Missouri (4-2-1) defeated Columbia College (4-1-0) on Thursday evening by a final score of 1-0.

SEMO won a corner in the 70^th minute of the contest as freshman Justi Nelson served up a beautiful cross into the box. Brune, on her birthday, out jumped the Columbia defense to beat the keeper for the only goal of the match.

Brune finished the match with four shots, including two on goal, and played the full 90-minutes for the Redhawks on Thursday night.

As a team, SEMO finished with 10 shots with four on target to Columbia's nine shots (4 SOGs).

Six Redhawks played the full 90-minutes as defenders Natalie Jackson, Maddie Paulson, Alayna Jakul, and midfielders Brune and Zoe Houston were integral in the Redhawks fourth win on the season.

Goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink was the sixth Redhawk who played the entire match. The sophomore keeper recorded her fourth clean sheet of the season stopping four shots on target while facing nine total.

Sophomore Cayla Koerner, the leading goal scorer in the OVC, finished with a single shot in 67 minutes of game time. Her best chance came in early in the first half as she got behind the Columbia defense for a one-on-one chance with the keeper. Koerner fired the shot, but a Columbia defender swept it away for a Redhawks corner kick.

The Redhawks generated 10 corner kicks to Columbia's three, which proved to be a huge advantage in the contest with the game-winning goal coming from the set piece.

SEMO soccer will be back in action next Thursday, Sept. 21, as they begin Ohio Valley Conference play against Western Illinois. Kickoff is slated for 3 p.m., CT. in Macomb, Ill.
