THIBODAUX - The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjack soccer team defeated Nicholls State, 4-1, Friday night in Thibodaux. The Ladyjacks are now 8-2-1 overall and a perfect 4-0-0 in Southland Conference play.

The Ladyjacks took control of the game offensively in the second half as sophomore Kendra Cannon added to the lead when she scored her eighth goal of the season off a pass from freshman Alicia Reese.

Junior Sophia Pantazis added a goal to give SFA a 4-0 lead. The Lady Colonels scored a goal late, but it didn't matter as the Ladyjacks cruised to their fourth consecutive victory.
