Lipscomb women’s soccer (4-2-3) fell 2-0 against the Mississippi State Bulldogs Sunday afternoon at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex.
Mississippi State scored the first goal of the game in the 20th minute by Shelby Jordan. Mallory Eubanks assisted the goal.
The Bulldogs scored the second goal of the game in the 37th minute by Kennadi Corbin with an assist from Morgan Mills.
“Mississippi State has strong athletes,” head coach Kevin O’Brien said. “Their athletes took it upon themselves to do special things, which led to the outcome of the game.”
Only two goals were scored during the entirety of the game. Lipscomb gave up both scores in the first half and managed to stop the Bulldogs from scoring in the second half of the game.
Usual Lipscomb starters sophomore Jade Abarca and junior Carolyn Springsteen were out with injuries, as well as several other players, giving the Bisons a short-handed squad for the game.
“You learn a lot about yourselves every game,” O’Brien said. “Sometimes you have to play tough games to get weaknesses exposed.”
The Lady Bisons host a tournament this upcoming weekend. On Thursday evening, the Bisons take on Akron at 7 p.m. and on Saturday they play Western Carolina at 7 p.m.
