APSU, Pine Bluff struggle offensively in no-score tie

By Jordon Chaffin | Guest Writer

The Lady Govs soccer team held their second home game Friday, Sept. 4, at Morgan Brothers’ Soccer Field, against the Golden Lions of University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. After 90 minutes of regulation play and two 10-minute overtime periods, the game ended in a score of 0-0.

From the time the whistle blew to begin the match until the end of the second overtime, the match was extremely physical. Both teams committed double-digit fouls; the Lady Govs committed ten and Arkansas-Pine Bluff were charged with 11, however there were no bookings throughout the match.

The Lady Govs came close to getting on the board on a free kick from Danielle Roos that hit the cross bar, came down and was deflected out-of-bounds by the Arkansas-Pine Bluff goal keeper.

The Lady Govs dominated the offense category, taking 17 shots and placing six on goal, while Arkansas-Pine Bluff took four shots. Both teams conceded three corners; however, neither team conceded a penalty kick.

Arkansas-Pine Bluff had few opportunities but one of their chances came midway through the second half. After a Lady Gov shot sailed high, Arkansas-Pine Bluff’s goal keeper served a goal kick into the defense. Arkansas-Pine Bluff sent a ball through the middle of the defense to one of the forwards of Arkansas-Pine Bluff but was met by Lady Govs keeper Mackenzie Ladd, who emerged with the ball.

Neither team managed any production in the first overtime. In the second overtime, however, the Lady Govs had two chances they came out on the short end of. Roos’ shot in the 117 minute went high and junior Monica Dunham’s attempt off a corner sailed just wide off the post.

When asked about the game, Lady Govs coach Kelly Guth said it was “a step in the right direction.”

“I commend the effort tonight, because it seemed like we had a fire in us. Trying to go after the win, just unfortunately couldn’t find the back of the net.”

The Lady Govs will continue their season next Friday, Sept. 11, as they carry their 1-3-1 record down to Tampa to face the Bulls of the University of South Florida. Their next home game is Friday, Sept. 18, against MTSU.
