Soccer falls 1-0 in OVC opener against EIU

MSU Athletics

The Morehead State soccer team dropped a 1-0 decision to Ohio Valley Conference foe Eastern Illinois on Friday night at Jayne Stadium.

The Panthers' Lexi Ketterhagen found the back of the net in the 85th minute to finish off a goal created by passes from Angela Corcoran and Sarah DeWolf. Ketterhagen shot across the goal from left corner of the goalie box to beat the Eagles' redshirt-sophomore goalkeeper Eva Helgadottir.

Despite being shutout, Morehead State controlled possession for most of the match and played very aggressively on the offensive end outshooting EIU 15-8. Senior forward Dani Wilson lead the attack with nine shots, six on goal.

Helgadottir, who entered the match ninth national for total saves, stopped four goals to bring her season save total to 53.

Eastern Illinois goalkeeper SaraTeteak made eight saves and recorded her third shutout of the 2018 season.

The Eagles return to action on Sunday against OVC foe SIUE. The match is slated to begin at 2:00 p.m. and can be viewed live on the OVC Digital Network.
