Pine Bluff, AR - The Lady Lions won 3-0 with a dominating performance over the Alabama State Lady Hornets on Sunday at the UAPB Soccer Complex. The Lady Lions improved their record to 9-4-1 with a 5-0 record in SWAC play.

The Lady Lions outshot the Hornets 12-0 in the first half. With numerous chances on ASU's goal, the Lady Lions managed to score only one goal in the first half. The goal came from senior midfielder Rachel Harker when she sprinted 50 yards to finish a cross by Silvia Fuentes.

In the second Half, the Lady Lions found the back of the net twice with goals from Silvia Fuentes and Jade West. Coach Roberto Mazza pulled out his starters with 20 minutes left in the game to give other players a chance to get some playing time.

“It was a very good game for us today,” said Head Coach Roberto Mazza. “We played well defensively throughout the game and it showed on the offensive end. I was very pleased to see Jade score her first goal of the season. If she continues to play like this, she will make a big difference for us.”

Rachel Harker was the player of the game with one goal and one assist. “Harker has been playing very well,” said Mazza. “She makes everyone around her better and she is an exceptional leader.”

Freshman Keeper Meaghan Storie recorded her 3rd shutout of the season.

The Lady Lions will be on the road next weekend as they take on Prairie View A&M on Friday night and Texas Southern Sunday afternoon.
