JACKSONVILLE – After three consecutive matches away from the JSU Soccer Field, the Jacksonville State soccer team returns to the home pitch on Friday against Ohio Valley Conference front-runner Murray State.
The Gamecocks and Racers will kick off at 3 p.m. Admission is free to all JSU home soccer matches. The game will also be streamed on ESPN+.
JSU will be looking to keep the momentum gained from a 4-0 blanking of Eastern Kentucky this past Tuesday. MSU has claimed its first five matches of the spring slate, including a 1-0 win versus Austin Peay last Tuesday. Jax State knocked off the Racers, 3-2, in the last outing between the two sides during the 2019 season. Sophomore Cynthia Bagozzi turned in the game winner in the 73rd minute.
Senior Alicia Pallister and sophomore Gabriel Clarke carried the JSU offense against EKU as both registered two goals each. It was the first time since the 2018 season (vs. Jackson State) that a pair of Gamecocks scored multiple goals in a match. Pallister, Clarke and Bagozzi all have multiple goals this season for JSU. Pallister also has three assists on the season, while Bagozzi ranks second on the squad in shots with nine. Freshman Kylie Wells leads the team in shots with 13 on the season. She is among the league leaders in that category.
As a team, the Gamecocks are averaging 14.8 shots per game which ranks third in the conference. JSU's nine goals through four matches this season ranks third in the OVC as it is averaging 2.25 goals per match.
Redshirt junior goalkeeper Morgan Lerch is listed third in the OVC in goals against average at 0.98 and she has a saves percentage of .857.
Following the Friday home date, the Gamecocks will make a trip to Martin, Tennessee during Spring Break with a Tuesday tilt against UT Martin.
