JACKSONVILLE – Louisiana Tech scored an early goal and fended off Jacksonville State to record a 1-0 result in women's college soccer action at the JSU Soccer Field on Friday night.

Tech's Madison Doll collected the game-winning goal in the 6^th minute after a corner kick that deflected off the crossbar to Doll for the score.  Tech's Jaelyn Peeples was credited with the assist on the lone goal of the night.

JSU pressured the Lady Techsters throughout the contest and had the advantage in shots on goal with five of the club's nine shots being in range.  Senior Carsen Taylor had two of the three in the contest, while sophomore Kayla Thompson's ball that got past the keeper was just left of the back of the net.  Senior Nicola Dominikovich also had multiple shot attempts.  JSU had five shots in the opening 45 minutes and four in the second half.
