MONROE, La. – Inge Konst and Lena Göppel each scored first half goals as ULM held off Arkansas State's late rally, 2-1, Sunday afternoon at Brown Stadium to pick up three points over the Sun Belt Conference West Division leaders.
  
In the 30th minute, Konst fired a free kick from the top left corner of the box toward the net. The ball slipped past A-State (6-5-2 overall, 4-2-0 Sun Belt Conference) goalkeeper Olivia Luther to put ULM (10-3-2, 2-3-1) up 1-0.
 
ULM struck again in the 44th minute. On a corner kick from the left side, Konst's kick came to the front of the net, where it deflected off of Luther and went to Göppel, who sent it past Luther in to the lower right corner of the net for the 2-0 advantage that held to halftime.
 
Arkansas State made a late push. In the 81st minute, Abigail Miller broke into the box and challenged ULM goalkeeper Mickaela Leal, using the right foot to push the ball past Leal into the bottom right corner of the net to bring the Red Wolves within a goal, 2-1.
 
Much of the final 10 minutes was played on A-State's offensive end of the field. The Red Wolves earned a corner kick in the final minute, with McKenzie Robinson firing a shot that was stopped by Leal. A scramble ensued off the rebound, but a foul on Arkansas State brought an end to the scrum and secured the win for ULM.
 
ULM had 16 shots, putting six on frame, while A-State had 11 shots with three on goal. Luther made two saves in the first half for A-State while Damaris Deschaine had two in the second half. Leal made two saves for the Warhawks.
 
Miller led the Red Wolves with three shots, while Ashley Washburn had four shots, including two on goal, for ULM.
