Box Score BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - The UALR Trojans were unable to
build upon the momentum they gained Sunday afternoon after defeating Middle
Tennessee as they fell to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers by the score of 5-0
Monday afternoon.
The game was originally scheduled to be played Friday
evening but weather forced the two teams to re-schedule for a Monday afternoon
date.
The Hilltoppers (10-3-1, 5-1) jumped on UALR early and had
built the eventual 5-0 final by the end of the first half. WKU built a 2-0 lead
just six minutes in as Kaylyn Pratt scored her fourth goal of the year from
eight yards out.
The Hilltoppers scored three more times in the final 15
minutes of the first half. Mallory Outerbridge was assisted by Kellie Walker in
the 30th minute to make the score 3-0. Courtney Rymer and Lindsay Williams each
recorded their first goals of 2009 in the 41st and 44th minutes which rounded
out the day's scoring.
UALR (5-8-1, 2-3-1) did manage to have 13 shots with seven
on frame in the contest. The Trojans were paced by Danielle Dunsworth who had three shots with two on goal. Sophomore
forward Christina Veasley also had
three shots in 79 minutes of action.
Preseason All-Sun Belt goalkeeper Libby Stout earned the
win in goal for WKU as she finished the day with four saves in just one half. Michelle Pittman played the second half
in goal for the Trojans and finished the afternoon with four saves of her own.
UALR returns to action this Friday Oct. 16 when
they play host to North Texas. Game time at
Burns Park Soccer Complex in North
Little Rock is set for 7 p.m.
