Louisiana takes top-seeded Jaguars to brink despite playing player down for final 50 minutes
FOLEY, Ala. – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns saw their Sun Belt Conference Women's Soccer Championship run come to a heartbreaking end on Monday, falling to top-seeded South Alabama in a penalty shootout, 4-3, after the teams played to a scoreless draw through 110 minutes at the Foley Sports Tourism Complex.
Louisiana (7-6-5), the No. 8 seed in the field, battled toe-to-toe with the Jaguars (10-3-4), matching them in nearly every statistical category. Louisiana held a 17-16 advantage in shots, with each side putting eight on frame.
Goalkeeper Natalie Mayes stopped three shots for Louisiana before being sent off in the 60th minute for denying a goal-scoring opportunity. Defender Aila Swinton moved into goal for the final 50 minutes and the overtime periods, recording five saves to keep Louisiana level.
Offensively, Carson Glenn led the Ragin' Cajuns with a match-high eight shots, with three shots on target, while Sisley Stephens and Salma Elhaimer each added two shots on goal.
In the penalty shootout, Miku Kurihara, Addison Soehn, and Swinton converted their attempts as Louisiana built a 3-1 lead, but South Alabama rallied with three straight conversions to prevail 4-3 after six rounds.
