Redbirds Fall to Jaguars in Weekend Matchup

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Illinois State women's soccer team (2-4-1) fell 3-0 to the Jaguars of IUPUI (5-3-0) Sunday afternoon at IUPUI.

The Redbirds opened the match with two shots in the first four minutes by junior Angel Krell. ISU continued to outshoot IUPUI, ending the half with eight shot to IUPUI's two. Krell led the half with three shots, senior Kelli Zickert and freshman Sarah Lafayette tallied two each and senior Hannah Rodgers got a shot off in the 16th minute. The Redbirds created many dangerous opportunities as the half continued; at the 35-minute mark the Redbirds danced inside the 18 with three different players looking for scoring opportunities but were unable to get a shot off.

ISU went down quick to start the second half with IUPUI getting back-to-back goals. Jaguars got the first goal of the match in the 53rd minute off a corner kick. They quickly followed with a second goal in the same minute, both by freshman Valentine Pursey, giving them the 2-0 lead. The game changed in the 58th minute when Hayley Shelton got the third goal for IUPUI off a long cross from Krissy Kirkhoff. The Redbirds did not go down without a fight, getting four shots off in the last ten minutes of the match. ISU finished the match with 14 shots to IUPUI's 13. They were outnumbered in shots on goal, finishing with three to the Jaguars five.

The Redbirds will stay on the road for their next match, travelling to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to take on Marquette Thursday, September 14 at 7 p.m. ISU will return home Sunday, September 17 to face Miami-Ohio at Adelaide Street Field at 1 p.m.
