The Murray State soccer team closed out their season with a 2-1 loss against Tennessee Tech University at Cutchin Field on Sunday, Oct. 31. 

The Golden Eagles scored the lone goal of the first half in the 23rd minute, making the score 1-0. 

It wasn’t until the 41st minute of the second half that the Racers tied the score at 1-1 with a goal from sophomore defender Audrey Henry, assisted by sophomore midfielder Hailey Cole.

The Golden Eagles, however, took the lead once again in the 44th minute after receiving a penalty kick, which deflected off of junior goalkeeper Jenna Villacres and found its way into the goal. Tennessee Tech took the game 2-1, and will continue to play in the OVC tournament.
