MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The Middle Tennessee women's soccer team (1-3-0) fell to North Alabama (2-2-0) in a 2-1 loss to the Lions tonight in the second game of a three-match homestand at Dean A. Hayes Track and Soccer Stadium.
For the third time in four games this season, the Blue Raiders struck first with a goal from freshman forward Lexi Dendis in the opening scoring opportunity in the 11th minute, giving the home side an early 1-0 advantage.
Less than a minute later, forward Emma Pettersen nearly scored her team-high third goal of the season, but the score was waved off due to ensuing offside call, keeping the MTSU lead at 1-0.
