LEBANON, ILL.- S&T faced a set-back tonight, falling 2-0 to the Bearcats of McKendree University.

While the Miners played the Bearcats almost dead-even in the first half, McKendree's offense revved up in the second half, getting back-to-back goals from Madyson Mossman and Sydnee Carroll within three minutes of each other.

While the Bearcats offense opened up, S&T's was shut down in the second half, getting off just three shots, one of those being on-goal.

Paige Jackson (St. Louis, MO/Incarnate Word Academy) almost got a goal back for the Miners midway through the second half when she fired a shot at McKendree's goalkeeper, Zoe Brochu, and then got the rebound from the save and sent it towards the goal again, missing just wide of the net.

Along with Jackson, Julia Crets (St. Charles, Mo./Francis Howell North), Jess Haller (Eureka, Mo./Eureka), and Kayla Foster (Sand Springs, Okla./Charles Page) all fired off shots tonight. Kristin Steins (Ballwin, Mo./Parkway South) got the start in goal tonight, making four saves in 90 minutes of work.

The Miners (5-8-3, 5-7-2 GLVC) will finish off their season on Sunday afternoon when they take on the Screaming Eagles of Southern Indiana. Kick-off is set for 12 p.m.
