| DEVILETTES SOCCER DROPS HOME GAME TO COWGIRLS Roderick Mosley September 18, 2005 Itta Bena, MS--- The Mississippi Valley State University Devilettes soccer team continued recent woes as they dropped another close game this time 2-1 to the Cowgirls of McNeese State University in only their second home game of the year. Despite giving up two goals, one in each half, the Devilettes played solid defense throughout only allowing seven shots on goal, goalkeeper Maria Del Guercio recorded five saves. The Devilettes lone goal came courtesy of freshman defender Ashley Bailey’s long kick just over the head of Cowgirls back up goalkeeper Shelby Money in the games 80th minute. McNeese freshman forward, Ja’Nae Powell provided all of the offense the Cowgirls would need scoring both of their goals. The first set up by a cross pass from Sara Overfelt for the assist, the later on a breakaway that left her one on one with Guercio. The Devilettes (1-4) will return to action Wednesday September 21st when they travel to Baton Rouge, LA to face the Lady Jaguars of Southern University in their first contest against a Southwestern Athletic Conference school. |
