CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin Women's Soccer (12-3-2, 8-2-0) continue their quest for a Southland Conference Championship as they get set to duel the Northwestern State Lady Demons (11-7-2, 6-3-1) in the semifinals round of the tournament.
Lumberjacks at a Glance:
The Lumberjacks continue to string together a strong season as they carried over their success from the regular season into the playoffs as three first-half goals in the quarterfinals match against the UTRGV Vaqueros helped power SFA to a 3-1 win over UTRGV. SFA's offense continues to provide a relentless attack on opponents and UTRGV was no exception as the 'Jacks totaled 13 total shots and eight shots on goal in the win. The Lumberjacks will look to post their fifth consecutive win on Thursday and advance to the championship game on Sunday.
Lady Demons at a Glance:
The Northwestern State Lady Demons enter Thursday night seeking some revenge as they fell 5-0 to SFA just under a week ago that saw SFA win the Southland Conference Regular Season Title. The Lady Demons opened their Southland Conference Championship run in thrilling fashion as they faced off against no. 5 seeded Southeastern Louisiana and defeated them 2-1 in double overtime to punch their ticket to the quarterfinals. The win over SLU marked the Lady Demons fourth consecutive SLC Tournament game where they played into overtime.
Scouting Report:
For the first time in the Southland Conference Tournament's history, a pair of sisters both scored a goal in the same game courtesy of Erin and Ella Morgan. Younger Morgan sister, Erin, kicked off the scoring for SFA off a pass from Ava Shannon to record her first career collegiate goal. Just over 13 minutes later, her older sister Ella capped off a dominating first half with her second goal of the season to put the Lumberjacks ahead 3-0. Sandwiched in-between the two Morgan sister goals was Brielle Buchanan's eighth goal of the season which proved to be the game winner for SFA.
Dawson Marrs scored the equalizer for Northwestern State in the 73rd minute off a pass from Paige Baumgartner to knot the score at one goal apiece late in the second half. In the 104th minute of the contest, Taylor Spitzer picked up her seventh goal of the contest off an assist from Alina Graf to push the Lady Demons to a thrilling 2-1 double overtime win over Southeastern Louisiana.
Series:
Friday evening's high-stake matchup will feature the 36th all-time meeting between these two Southland rivals with arguably the highest stakes of the entire series on the line. SFA leads the all-time series 22-8-5, and these two teams are no strangers to each other as they met less than a week ago to determine the Southland Champion which resulted in a 5-0 SFA home win over NWSU.
