MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State rallied with three goals in the final 15 minutes to take a 3-1 decision over Jacksonville State on Sunday afternoon at Jayne Stadium.

The MSU match wrapped up Jax State's 2018 road slate and its trip to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  The Gamecocks will enter the final regular season weekend with a 3-11-2 overall record and 1-7 in league play.   JSU will host Eastern Illinois on Friday, Oct. 19 before SIU Edwardsville treks to campus on Sunday, Oct. 21.  The soccer program will honor its two seniors – Claire Petersen and Madison Carruthers prior to the 7 p.m. match with the Panthers.  MSU moved to 5-11 overall and 4-4 in the OVC.

Junior Emma Meadows broke a scoreless deadlock after the first 52 minutes with goal off of a rebound in the 53rd minute.  Junior Rachel Blanding was credited with the assist, the first of the season for the Snellville, Georgia native.  Meadows now has two goals on the season.

The play of Meadows and Petersen stood out to head coach Neil Macdonald.

"I thought Emma (Meadows) and Claire (Petersen) were excellent today," said Macdonald.  "As a team, we played well and dominated possession."

The Eagles were a plus-seven in total shots, 14-7, in the contest, but most of those came late and after Jax State took the lead.  MSU equalized in the 75th minute with a goal by Colleen Swift.  Swift completed a cross from right on the backside to send it in to the back of the net.  MSU posted the go-ahead goal in the 83rd minute with a goal by Makenna Lavatori.  Her goal was off of a rebound of a shot from the right side.

MSU was awarded a penalty kick in the 86th minute, which was taken by Dani Wilson.

Carruthers, who had two shots to lead JSU, was one of six different Gamecocks to have a shot in the match.  Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Morgan Lerch finished with four saves.
