USI clinches GLVC Tournament berth
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer had its school-record tying seven-match winning streak snapped by the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 2-1, Friday evening in St. Louis, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles go to 9-5-2 overall and 7-5-1 GLVC, while the Miners are 7-5-3, 6-4-3 GLVC.
USI found itself down early in the first half when UMSL scored 12:33 into the match to take a 1-0 lead. The 1-0 UMSL advantage would stand up through the intermission.
The Eagles would score the equalizer 25 minutes into the second half when sophomore forward Taylor Hall (Grayson, Kentucky) scored at 69:52. Hall evened the score, 1-1, off an assist by sophomore forward Morgan Beyer (Rossford, Ohio) and posted her first goal of the year.
UMSL would rebound to get the game-winner with 22 second left in the match to get the victory.
Despite the loss, the Eagles clinched a spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament that is slated to begin November 7. USI could be seeded five, six, or seven depending up on the outcome of the season finale Sunday at Lindenwood University.
Following the GLVC Tournament first round next Sunday, the semifinals and finals are slated for November 12 and 14 at the highest remaining seed after the quarterfinals.
UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI concludes the road swing and the 2021 regular season Sunday at noon with a visit to Lindenwood. Lindenwood moved to 4-10-1 overall a 4-8-1 GLVC after falling at home this evening to the University of Indianapolis. The Lions have lost six-straight after tonight’s loss.
The Eagles lead the series with Lindenwood, 2-0-0, after a win last spring in Evansville, 1-0. USI took the first match between the two programs, 1-0, in 2019.
