University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer was shutout by Quincy University, 1-0, Sunday afternoon in its 2015 home finale and Senior Day at Strassweg Field. USI, which was 2-4-1 at home in 2015, saw its record slip to 4-8-2 overall and 3-8-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, while Quincy rose to 10-2-3 overall, 7-2-3 GLVC.

USI fell behind in the opening minutes of the contest when Quincy scored the only goal of the match at 2:43. The Hawks were dominating in the opening half, out shooting the Screaming Eagles, 14-1.

In the second half, the Eagles tried to claw their way back into the match, but was stymied by the Hawks’ defense. USI had four of their five shots on goal in the final 30 minutes, but could not get by the Quincy back line.

USI senior goalkeeper Jackie Lohmann was strong in goal for the Eagles, despite taking the loss. Lohamann allowed the one goal, but made a career-high 13 saves, four short of the USI singles-game record.

The Eagles will be on the road for the final three matches of 2015 when they travel to Maryville University October 23 and the University of Missouri-St. Louis October 25 before concluding the 2015 schedule at 13th-ranked Bellarmine University October 28.
