JONESBORO, Ark.— Despite the best defensive efforts from the Little Rock Trojans who held off the Arkansas State Wolves, they ultimately fell 1-0.
The Trojans showed improvement throughout the game with multiple attempts on goal and freshman goalkeeper, Saskia Wagner, once again, shining through with her ability to keep the game afloat. She blocked a total of seven shots on goal with five being in the first half.
Thirty minutes into the first half and six shots on goal later, the Red Wolves attempted a long shot that snuck into the top left corner, making it almost impossible for Wagner to block. The Red Wolves were now leading 1-0 but the Trojans continued fighting.
The last 15 minutes saw some action with a few shots on goal by the Trojan and a few fouls committed by the Red Wolves.
With the second half in full swing, the Trojans were playing tough, and the defense really showed character and was not letting anything through. They only saw about five shots on goal and two that were skillfully stopped by Wagner.
The Trojans showed tenacity and hard work throughout the game. They are excited to continue improving their skills and teamwork while playing against competitive teams.
Little Rock is traveling just an hour south to Pine Bluff on Tuesday, March 16 to take on the UAPB Golden Lions at 3 p.m.
