CARBONDALE, Ill. - The Southern Illinois University women's soccer team (3-2-2) fell to Lindenwood, 1-0, on Sunday.Â
"Obviously disappointing to lose a game, I thought a draw would have probably been a fair result. But at the same time, we didn't do enough to deserve to win it," head coach Graeme Orr said.Â
In the first half, neither side was able to find the back of the net. Although the Salukis out-shot the Lions 5-1, the score remained 0-0 into halftime.Â
In the second half of play, Lindenwood's Georgia Pardalos scored the first and only goal of the match. Southern Illinois out-shot Lindenwood 10-5Â in the second half but couldn't connect to get the equalizer resulting in the first home loss of the season.Â
"I just felt today we didn't have enough forward drives, so all of our play was kind of in front and nice at times but we've got to look to get more forward runs and penetrate and get into situations where we can impact the attack" Orr said.Â
Fabiana Solano made two saves and Dana Cruz led the team today in shots with three.Â
The Salukis will continue their home stretch on Thursday night against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at 6 p.m.
