08/31/2025 | 3:30:00 | Women's Soccer
CARBONDALE, Ill. – Southern Illinois soccer (4-1-0, 0-0-0) took a trip to Evansville, Indiana, on Sunday for a match against Southern Indiana (1-5-0, 0-0-0). SIU struggled to generate any offense, dropping the game 2-0.
Inside the Box Score
How It Happened
First Half
Southern Indiana struck early, scoring on their first shot on goal three minutes into the match. The Screaming Eagles generated another shot-on-goal less than two minutes later, but Miller made her first save to keep the score at 1-0.
SIU found some life in the 16th and 17th minutes, but Penny Warner saw her shot ring off the crossbar while Gosse's shot attempt was blocked. The Salukis were able to generate a few more shots through the rest of the first half, but none of them found the net, leaving the score at 1-0 in favor of USI heading into half.
Second Half
Following SIU's goalie switch to Murray, the freshman was challenged by Southern Indiana early, having to make her first save at the 49:43 mark. The Salukis finally got their first shot of the half off at 56:30 when Betancourt's attempt missed high.
After a trio of missed SIU shots and a Gosse attempt that hit the right post of the goal, USI found an insurance marker when they scored with less than 30 seconds remaining in the match, securing their 2-0 win over the Salukis.
Up Next
Southern Illinois remains on the road for their next contest when they travel to SIUE on Thursday, September 4, for a 7 p.m. contest.
