Williams Fuels JSU's Shutout Victory Over Alabama State

Montgomery, Ala.| Forward Caylah Williams scored twice to lead the Jackson State soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Alabama State on Sunday afternoon at the ASU Soccer Complex.

Jackson State (3–5–2, 2–0–0 SWAC) struck early, taking a 1–0 lead in the 5th minute when Williams finished a cross from Kyla Gomez at the far post.

Williams doubled her tally in the 54th minute, slotting home after a setup from defender Sarah Portis.

Defensively, JSU stood strong as goalkeeper Taylor Osborn made four saves to secure her second consecutive shutout in conference play. The back line anchored by Portis, Kianah Farmer, and Makayla Sturkey kept the Hornets' 14 shots off the board.
