Soccer Edged in Season Opener at Southern Illinois

CARBONDALE, Ill.| The Jackson State soccer team opened its 2023 campaign on the road at Southern Illinois Thursday afternoon. The Tigers were edged 2-1 by the Salukis after SIU scored on a late penalty kick at the 79:57 mark in the second half.

"First, I'd like to congratulate Coach Orr on his first win at SIU Carbondale. We were wide of the mark in many areas in terms of how we want to play, that's my responsibility," said Tigers head coach Ted Flogaites. "It was nowhere near the level of performance we are capable of. It's not enough for us anymore to be in matches, our expectation is far higher than that. The first goal we conceded was really poor, and we've got to be better in those instances. For the goal we scored, the pass in was sharp and Maya Thompson finished clinically, but that should have been happening over and over."

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Jackson State (0-1) shot first as Kendyl Terrell took a chance at scoring 3:04 into the match.
  • Southern Illinois' (1-0) McKensey Bunch shot at the 6:17 mark but was unsuccessful in the Salukis' first attempt.
  • Neither goalie was forced to record a save as Jackson State held Southern Illinois scoreless at the end of the first half.
  • SIU got off to a quick start at the beginning of the second half as Bunch gave the Salukis a 1-0 lead at 49:59.
  • Kyla Gomez shot for the Tigers and Chantelle Symes registered the first save of the game.
  • JSU's Sage Magruder came right back to the goal and shot at the 60:58 mark, but Symes came up with the save.
  • At 66:38, Maya Thompson scored the Tigers' first goal of the match with an assist from Sage Magruder to tie the score.
  • SIU's Kaitlin DuCharme scored with roughly eleven minutes left in the match on a penalty kick to increase the Salukis' lead.
  • Terrell took one more shot before time expired at 89:12 to try to even out the match, but the Tigers were unable to hold on, falling 2-1.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • Jackson State registered nine shots while Southern Illinois finished with 11.
  • JSU's Jordan Smith recorded one save on the day for Jackson State and DuCharme had two.
