Govs Fall in Offensively-Led Second Half

SAINT CHARLES, Mo. – Lindsey McMahon and Alec Baumgardt netted second-half scores, but Austin Peay State University's soccer team was unable to maintain a two-goal advantage, falling to Lindenwood, 3-2, Sunday, at Hunter Stadium. 

The two sides played to a scoreless first 45, with Lindenwood leading the two teams in shots, 8-3. Despite the early shot-total, both sides registered just one attempt on net in the opening 45 minutes, with the Govs' shot on goal coming off the right foot of Alec Baumgardt in the sixth minute.

Lindenwood tallied the first shot of the second half, but the attempt was stopped by the crossbar in the opening 30 seconds. 

Kiley Reese lined up in the left corner and connected with Lindsey McMahon from nine yards out, who headed it in for her third-career goal and first of the season. Reese's assist also marked the first of her career.

Just minutes later, on a set piece taken by Reese, she kicked it into the box, which was headed in by a darting Baumgardt for her second of the season.

Five minutes after a Lindenwood red card, the Lions lined up for a penalty kick attempt by the Lions' Rachel Jackson which was saved by Lauryn Berry; however, Berry was unable to coral the ball, as Jackson scored on the ricochet.

A foul in the box led to another Lindenwood penalty kick, of which the Lions' Georgia Pardalos netted in to bring the two sides back to even.

The Lions then scored a goal off a free kick to go up 3-2, in what proved to be the final score of a five-goal second half.
