LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The Arkansas-Little Rock women's soccer team suffered a 4-0 loss to Missouri State on Sunday after in the team's 2005 season opener. The Bears (2-0) rode two goals from freshman Meghan Cassady to their second victory of the young season.

Missouri State's defense limited the Trojans effectiveness on offense and helped freshman goalkeeper Jackie Jasper register a shutout off six saves. The Bears went ahead 1-0 early on when Chelsea Anderson scored off a corner kick by Caroline Rooker 1:13 into the game. Cassady tallied her first goal later in the half to send Missouri State into the break with a 2-0 lead.

Cassady's second goal came 63:13 into the contest off a rebound and put the Bears on top 3-0. Freshman Allison Osmundson put the finishing touches on the win when she beat senior goalkeeper Marsha Stewart on a breakaway 13 minutes later. Stewart came up with nine saves in the losing effort.

The Trojans (0-1) return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Stillwater, Okla., to take on Oklahoma State at 1 p.m.
