BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Southern Miss women's soccer team (5-4-0, 0-1-0 C-USA) fell to Western Kentucky (5-2-1, 1-0-0 C-USA) by a final score of 1-0 on Saturday night at the WKU Soccer Complex.
The Golden Eagles put up a tough fight, taking the match to double overtime before surrendering the game-winning goal.

With the scoreboard reading 0-0 after a full 90 minutes of play, Southern Miss and Western Kentucky headed into a 10 minute overtime period. At the end of the first overtime period, the Golden Eagles and the Lady Toppers still remained scoreless.

Junior defender Keely Hoppmeyer led the way for the Golden Eagles defense, making multiple key stops throughout the match.
Junior goalkeeper Kendell Mindnich registered six saves in the contest, helping to hold the Lady Toppers scoreless for 100+ minutes.
