Ragin' Cajuns will face Coastal Carolina in SBC Quarterfinals on Nov. 4
JONESBORO, Ark. – Sarah Sodoma scored a goal on a penalty kick in the 12th minute and West Division leader Arkansas State added a pair of goals in the second half to earn a 3-0 victory over the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns in the Sun Belt Conference regular-season finale for both teams on Sunday at the A-State Soccer Complex.
Â
Louisiana (8-4-1, 4-3-1 Sun Belt), which will face Coastal Carolina in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference Championships on Nov. 4, recorded 11 shots against A-State goalkeeper Megan McClure but was unable to find the back of the net against the league's top defense.
Â
A-State (8-1-1, 7-0-1 Sun Belt) picked up a goal against the SBC's second-best defensive unit as Sodoma's penalty kick goal snapped a 724-minute scoreless span against the Ragin' Cajuns, that began after a Sodoma goal in the 28th minute in the previous meeting between the teams on Sept. 24.
Â
The Red Wolves scored on an own goal early in the 61st minute when Sodoma crossed a ball to Hailey Furio deep into the Louisiana box that was knocked in past Louisiana goalkeeper Lauryn Starwood by a sliding Alex Augustyn.
Â
Maggie Ertl added an insurance goal in the 86th minute for Arkansas State when she took in a corner kick from Haley Husted and headed an attempt over the out-stretched hands of Starwood.
Â
Lizzie Mayfield, Karleen Bedre and Katelyn Stamps each recorded two shots for Louisiana, which had six shots on-goal. Starwood recorded four saves for the Ragin' Cajuns.
Â
McClure recorded five save for Arkansas State while Ertl and Abigail Miller each took a team-high three shots.
