LAST TIME OUT –
MONROE, La. – The ULM soccer team remains undefeated in the Sun Belt and at Brown Stadium, pulling a 2-2 draw against South Alabama on Thursday evening (Oct. 2). The contest was held in front of a record 503 fans, beating out the original record by over 40.
 
The Warhawks came out hot offensively, putting up several shots and drawing three corner kicks in the first six minutes. A penalty kick came in favor of ULM in the 15^th minute, taken by Ava Goodman but saved by goalkeeper Sierra Giorgio. Just a minute later, a penalty kick came in favor of the Jaguars, Ava Metherne hitting the back of the net for the 1-0 lead in the 16^th minute. This brought the pendulum swinging in the direction of South Alabama. 
 
After a missed free kick for South Alabama, Skylar Blaise picked things up from Margret Edda Bjarnadottir in the 38^thminute, as she scored her seventh goal of the season to tie the score. Neither team was able to break the tie at the conclusion of the first half, leaving it 1-1.
 
The Warhawks picked up where they left off in the second half, starting strong and tallying a shot on target in the first 30 seconds. A free kick and a corner kick came in for ULM, but to no avail, before Blaise took back control to claim the lead and her second goal of the night against the Jaguars. 
 
South Alabama refused to give up, looking for the tying goal. Both teams continued to draw fouls and set pieces were aplenty throughout the final 45 minutes, setting up saves for Handy and Giorgio. After a yellow card was assigned to Zamiyah Hill, the Metherne broke through again for the tying goal in the 70^th minute. Multiple shots on target came in for both teams as they fought for the game winner.
