UALR Soccer Upended by Louisiana-Lafayette

Box Score

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. ? In a game that saw no scoring in the first 45 minutes, the Louisiana-Lafayette Rajin' Cajuns (4-7-1, 2-2) scored three times in the second half giving them a 3-1 victory over the UALR Trojans (6-6-1, 2-2).

 

The game's first goal came in the 55th minute when ULL's Courtney Hofland scored her first goal of the season from 10 yards out off of a pass from Heather Ulliman making the score 1-0 in favor of the Rajin' Cajuns.

 

ULL would then build their lead to 2-0 on a goal by Callie Oliver, her second of the season, which came off of a rebound in the 64th minute.

 

UALR would make it interesting late, however, as Grace Rich scored her team-best ninth goal of the year in the 83rd minute from 15 yards out on a pass from teammate Alex Rustad which cut the ULL lead to 2-1.

 

The Trojans would not keep momentum for long though as Oliver scored her second goal of the match just three minutes later, making the score 3-1.

 

UALR will return to action on Oct. 10 when they play host to Western Kentucky. The Trojans will look to improve their Sun Belt record to 3-2 on the year and try not to lose their second consecutive match. The Trojans have not lost two consecutive games since they opened the season with back-to-back losses to Memphis and Missouri State. Game time for Friday's game at Burns Park is set for 7 p.m.
