The Lady Toppers soccer team comes into conference play with a 3-4 record, but that record could much easily be two or three wins better if it weren’t for an alarming trend.
On the season, WKU has an overall goal differential of +1, outscoring its non-conference opponents 8-7 in seven games. However, in the first half of games, the Lady Toppers are being outscored 4-2.
Over a weekend homestand featuring a Friday night game with Vanderbilt, and a Sunday afternoon game against Samford, the Lady Toppers surrendered the deciding goal of each game within the first seven minutes of the match.
