ROLLA, Mo. — Missouri S&T women's soccer looks to carry the momentum from the road victory over Truman State into its final week of regular-season play.
The Miners secured the 1-0 victory over Truman State behind a goal from
Jewelle Anderson (Union, MO/Union High School), who found the back of the net with an assist from
Ella Kramer (Liberty, MO/Liberty North).
The defensive effort held Truman State scoreless to secure the shutout and give S&T a boost heading into the final two matches of the regular season.
"Yeah, it's a big week," says Head Coach
Matthew Perry. "Still lots to play for. Wednesday is a tough one after some rest. The rest is great, but we were hitting some momentum before that too, so hoping to pick back up where we left off, really."
Missouri S&T will travel to Lincoln for a Wednesday matchup scheduled for 5:00 p.m.
Lincoln is 3-10-1 overall and 2-9-1 in the conference slate. The Blue Tigers are coming off a senior day 6-0 loss against Quincy. Offensively, they are led by Mia Greathouse with three goals and an assist. Goaltenders Kanon Dehama and
Kristin Oliver (Monroe, NC/Piedmont) have 82 saves on the season.
The Miners' last match against Lincoln was on September 14
th last season, when S&T pulled away with a 1-0 win.
The Miners will then return home Sunday to face the University of Missouri-St. Louis at noon in their regular-season finale.
Sunday's contest will also serve as Alumni Day, welcoming former Miners back to campus as the team closes out its regular-season schedule at home.
"We are wanting to extend our season with another home game so it's all focus on Wednesday before we can even think about facing a strong UMSL side," continues Perry.
UMSL is currently 11-1-3 and 10-0-2 in conference. The Tritons are coming off a strong 9-0 win against William Jewell. They will play Maryville University on Wednesday at home.
The Tritons are currently led by Ella Anselm, who has earned seven goals and three assists. Josie Maddox sits behind her with four goals and six assists. In goal, Allysa Wolf has made 43 saves on the season with a 0.896 save percentage.
With the regular season nearing its conclusion, S&T will look to build on its recent win and finish strong against Lincoln and UMSL.
