BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Jacksonville State wrapped up its first weekend on the road in Conference USA play by gaining a point after a scoreless draw with Western Kentucky on Sunday afternoon at the WKU Soccer Complex.

The Gamecocks will enter the back half of the CUSA slate with four points after a win over Louisiana Tech last Sunday coupled with the road result. Jax State moved to 6-7-1 on the season and 1-2-1 in conference play. The Hilltoppers concluded the weekend at 3-6-2 on the season and 1-1-2 in CUSA matches. WKU recorded a draw with Kennesaw State last Thursday. It's the second consecutive year that the two clubs played a draw.

Jax State controlled the pace and had scoring chances, including a penalty kick opportunity in the second half, but WKU's goalkeeper Maddie Davis staved off the kick. WKU posted a 10-8 shot advantage in the match and had four corner kick chances.

"I thought we dominated the game in all the areas of the game and I thought the players were brave on the ball. The difference in the hame is the missed penalty, otherwise we win the game after a really good performance. We will take the one point and move on to next week," said head coach Sean Fraser.

Junior Naroa Domenech turned in three shots in the draw, while five other Gamecocks had a shot attempt recorded. Junior Poppy Bastock collected four saves en route to her fourth shutout of the season.

The Gamecocks will return to action on Saturday, October 12 against CUSA foe UTEP at the Jax State Soccer Complex. Match time is set for 7 p.m. Admission is free to all home matches. The match will also be streamed on ESPN+.

"We have a full week ahead as we prepare for that and get the players some rest  and it is always nice to play at home," added Fraser.
