Box Score

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Southeast Missouri lost to WKU 4-1 on Thursday. The Redhawks were limited to three shots and one shot on goal while facing 23 shots, including 11 on frame.

That left Madison Geisler with seven saves over 90 minutes. Southeast Missouri also defended extended WKU sequences, including a late stretch with six shots and two corner kicks that did not lead to another goal.

The Redhawks spent the first half defending WKU pressure, with Madison Geisler making two saves while WKU scored in the ninth, 22nd and 34th minutes. Southeast Missouri was held without a recorded shot and committed three fouls during a late first-half stretch after WKU's second goal. The Redhawks went into halftime trailing 3-0.

Southeast Missouri got on the board late in the second half when Riley Henderson scored off Chloe Ouimet's assist at 82:57, moving the score to 4-1. Earlier, Olivia Klinkhardt hit the top woodwork after a SEMO corner, and WKU later pushed the margin to 4-0 in the 66th minute. Madison Geisler made three saves in the final five minutes as the Redhawks finished the match with a 4-1 loss.
