Jon Ireland, coach of the Lady Bisons soccer team has a memorable last name. Especially after today’s game versus Jackson State.
The luck of the Irish was on the Lipscomb’s side today when they shutout the Tigers of JSU.
The first and only goal of the game came at the eight minute mark of the first half off the foot of a Jackson State player. Luckily, though, it went into the back of their own net.
Sophomore Katie Wood lead the Lady Bisons in shots with four. Putting one of those four on goal.
Jackson state only managed to get seven shots off. Erin Zerlo, the keeper for the Lady Bisons only had to make one save, though.
In an interview with LipscombSports.com, Jon Ireland had this to say about the game.
“We have Katie, Kelsey Reiman and Kameron Stilwell in the back,” Ireland said. “The back three have been playing very well for us. Martika Powe has been playing great in the middle. The last component defensively is for Erin to get more confidence. This was a big game for her.
“We were very organized. That has been the thing about our team this year. This has been the best defensive unit we have had since I have been here.”
Lipscomb will not play again until Friday against Arkansas State. That game will the first of four straight games on the road.
