MURRAY, Ky. – Tennessee Tech was able to get more chances on goal than Murray State was able to on Sunday afternoon at Cutchin Field, but the former conference foe Racers were able to get one in during the 67th minute to take a 1-0 edge.
The Golden Eagles fall to 0-4-0 on the season. Tech returns home Thursday for a visit from future conference foe East Tennessee State. Admission to all games at Tech Soccer Field is free to the public.
Murray State outshot Tech 17-to-11, but the Golden Eagles were more on target, edging the on-goal tally 5-4. However, that edge was nullified in the 67th minute as Breece Bass was able to knock the lone goal into the net from a feed by Megan Wilson.
The first half went nil-nil as both sides collected eight total shots, but the Racers took the advantage in the second set of 45 minutes, outshooting the Golden Eagles 9-3. The game also got physical as Murray State (2-2-0) was whistled for 11 fouls – five in the first half and six in the second. Tech had two in the opening stanza, then five in the second half.
Claire Palya and Lucia Cuadra each had two tries on Racer keeper Griselda Revolorio, while Ebba Melin also sniped one toward the goal for a save.
Maggie Conrad had three saves in the contest, stopping tries on goal from Bass, Wilson and Sydney Etter.
