SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Valor Women's Soccer concluded their brief home stand on Monday (Aug. 24) night, hosting the 7th ranked John Brown Golden Eagles. Evangel's defense came to play, holding an exceptional JBU team scoreless in the first half, but unfortunately fell short in full time, 3-0.

John Brown recorded 12 shots in the first half of play, but goalkeeper Paige Estes stopped four that were on goal, keeping the game tied at the halftime break, 0-0.

In the second half, Estes was able to record another pair of saves before a free kick allowed the Golden Eagles to score on a rebound, giving JBU a 1-0 lead. The Valor were able to record several other saves, but six minutes later, the Eagles were able to add another score on an own goal to take a 2-0 lead. Evangel was able to earn their first corner of the game at the 64:05 mark and a pass from Emma Budimlya was able to find Dekeria Carter who put EU's first shot on goal that was ultimately saved. JBU added their final score of the game at the 79:18 mark to make it a 3-0 ballgame. Mattea Stockton recorded EU's final shot of the game, but once again, the Golden Eagles keeper earned the save, keeping EU off the scoreboard in a 3-0 loss.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Mattea Stockton and Dekeria Carter both recorded shots in the loss.

  • Paige Estes put forth an exceptional effort in goal, recording 11 saves and holding the 7th ranked Golden Eagles scoreless in the first half.

QUOTABLE

"I am beyond proud of this team - while the scoreline went their way, we played an incredible match against one of the best teams in the nation!!" Women's Soccer Head Coach Bruce Deaton stated. "Before the game, we focused on pace, organization, and communication and we were quite good in those areas. We clearly saw a few areas we need to continue to work on, but I am more convinced of how good this team can be more so after tonight's match than I was before. I'm proud indeed and excited for the journey ahead!"
