Last Time Out
SEMO was last in action on Sunday, Sept. 24, when they hosted Eastern Illinois on Meg Herndon Donate Life presented by Mid-America Transplant Day at Houck Field. 
 
The Redhawks outshot the panthers by a 15-3 margin but were unable to find the back of the net. EIU's goalkeeper Ella Kratochivil finished the game with seven saves over SEMO's 15 shots as EIU would go on to win 2-0. 
 
Two second half EIU goals propelled the Panthers to their first OVC win and their first positive result on the early conference campaign. 
 
SEMO continued to ask questions throughout the second half continued. Midfielder Zoe Houston had the best look of the half from just outside the box in the 50th minute. 
 
Houston's shot curled just past the left post and went behind for a goal kick. 
 
Forwards Kiana Khedoo and Justi Nelson, and Cayla Koerner finished with two shots, including three on goal between the three of them, as SEMO was shutout for the second match in a row. 
 
Five Redhawks played the entire 90-minute shift, including Emma Brune, Maddie Paulson, Natalie Jackson, Alayna Jakul, and Zoe Houston. 
 
The first EIU goal came from a Redhawks penalty inside the Panthers' box. Goalkeeper Sophia Elfrink was hurt on the play and was removed from the game prior to the penalty kick attempt. 
 
EIU's Cami Lummus slotted home the penalty past freshman Madison Geisler to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead. 
 
The Redhawks were unable to register a shot before the next Panthers goal, 12-minutes later, as EIU would hold on for the 2-0 victory.
