Box Score

TULSA, Okla - Goals by Eden Brooker and Kayla Wisniewski, in addition to a solid defensive effort pushed South Dakota State women's soccer past Oral Roberts, 2-0 Friday night.

The Jacks won their first match of the season and now sit at 1-0-2. Oral Roberts fell to 0-4-0 and 0-3-0 in conference play.

"I really believe the difference in the game came for the energy of our player who came off the bench," head coach Brock Thompson expressed. "They truly were game changers."

South Dakota State finished the match with 15 shots (four on goal) as a team.

State's defense recorded its third shutout of the season. Taylor Lock played the first 44 minutes between the pipes while Hailee Fischer came in as goalkeeper for the final 46 minutes of action, recording one save.

Two early shot attempts, including one on target, by Karlee Manding started an aggressive approach on offense for the Jacks. After two Golden Eagles shots missed the target, Brooker put the Jacks on the board in the 27th minute of play on a pass from Avery LeBlanc. Four more SDSU shots summed up the final 30 minutes of play in the first half with the Jacks holding a 1-0 lead at the break.

The Jacks came out firing in the second half, attempting three shots in a span of six minutes. After Wisniewski missed right in the 57th minute, the transfer took another chance on a pass from Kaycee Manding and made her first goal as a member of Jackrabbit soccer in the 59th minute to make it 2-0. Even with the 2-0 lead, the Jacks looked to grow their lead, firing four shots in the final 27 minutes of play.

"On both goals we had two different freshmen provide excellent service to our forwards," Thompson said.
