LA Tech suffered a 4-1 loss to Middle Tennessee
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Louisiana Tech had its season come to a close on Friday night, falling by a score of 4-1 to Middle Tennessee at the Dean A. Hayes Track & Soccer Stadium.
MTSU (8-9-0, 5-4-0 CUSA) was able to notch two goals each in the first and second half while LA Tech (2-10-5, 0-7-2 CUSA) was only able to find the back of the net with 15 minutes to play in the match.
The Bulldogs had three of their five corner kicks take place in the first 15 minutes of the game but were only able to generate one shot that came off the foot of Caroline Martin that was blocked.
The Blue Raiders got on the scoreboard first in the 26th minute, a goal that stemmed from a free kick at midfield. The ball was controlled by Emma Brown who then made a short pass to Manon Lebargy inside the six. Her one-touch finish gave the home team a 1-0 advantage.
Middle Tennessee was able to double that lead just before halftime when Hannah Murphy's rocket from the top of the 18 found the top corner of the net in the 42nd minute.
They tacked on two more goals in the 71st and 74th minute to make it a 4-0 lead. Less than a minute later, LA Tech netted its lone goal off a corner kick by Tal Faingezicht that was headed in from close range by Madita Ehrig, her first career goal as a Bulldog.
Sarah Melen, getting her seventh start in goal this season, was credited with four saves on the night.
MTSU held a 18-10 shot advantage (8-7 shots on goal) while LA Tech had a 5-3 advantage on corner kicks.
QUOTABLES
Head coach Steve Voltz
"Tonight was another microcosm of the season. We played well, competed, but struggled to score. It takes us too many chances to score a goal. We must become more efficient in that area as a program moving forward. I am very appreciative to all the seniors and what they have given to this team."
