ULM Warhawks

JONESBORO, Ark. ? Junior Raydan Phillips gave the ULM soccer team an early lead, but a late goal in regulation allowed Arkansas State to force a 1-1 tie in Jonesboro, Ark. on Sunday afternoon.

ULM (4-6-1, 1-2-1 Sun Belt) didn't let a lot of time run off the game clock before tallying the score. In the match's third minute senior Kendall Dawkins connected with Phillips who scored from 20 yards out for the early 1-0 lead.

In stark contrast to Friday night's loss at UALR in which the Warhawks had 14 shots on frame, the ULM offense stalled on Sunday. The Warhawks attempted only six total shots, including four coming on target.

“We are obviously upset about the result today,” ULM head coach Stacy Lamb said. “We scored the quick early goal and then quit working. Credit Arkansas State with tying the score late, but we did not play the aggressive style of defense we normally do. We did not play smart or with an aggressive attack and it hurt us today.”

Arkansas State (3-7-1, 0-3-1 Sun Belt) wouldn't give in. The Red Wolves battled back and scored the equalizing goal following a missed Warhawk clearance on a cornerkick. Michele Clark connected with Anna Kaloghirou who powered it home from the top of the box in the 85^th minute.

With the match moving to overtime, neither team was able to mount a sustained attack. The two extra periods expired with the score still locked at 1-1.

Junior Mallory George went the distance in goal, allowing only the one goal and adding five saves to her season total. The Centennial, Colo., native moved into second place all-time in the Sun Belt Conference in saves and sits only one shy of becoming the second player in ULM history with 300-plus stops.
