DELAND, Fla. – A season-high 13 shots on goal and sophomore Lindsey McMahon's first-career goal were not enough, as Austin Peay State University women's soccer dropped a 3-1 ASUN Conference decision against Stetson, Thursday, at the Athletic Training Center.
After exchanging shots for the first 20 minutes, McMahon headed in her first-career goal from just outside the goal box off a Clara Heistermann corner kick. McMahon's goal and Heistermann's assist were both sophomore's first-career points as a Gov.
Austin Peay (3-8-5, 1-5-2 ASUN) held a 1-0 advantage at the half and outshot Stetson (6-8-1, 3-3-1 ASUN), 8-7, through the first 45 minutes.
Despite outshooting the Hatters 13-6 in the second half as well, the Governors were unable to best Stetson's goalkeeper who had eight second-half saves and finished with 12 on the night.
The Hatters scored the equalizer in the 49th minute, before scoring the would-be game-winning shot eight minutes later. Stetson extended its lead in the 81st minute for the final score of the match.
