EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- The University of Southern Indiana women's soccer team lost a hard-fought exhibition game to Indiana State University, 2-1, Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field.
The Sycamores jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first half when forward Amanda Gogel scored at the 8:15 mark. The Screaming Eagles would bounce back to tie the score, 1-1, before the end of the half on a goal at 31:55 by junior forward Rachel Caksackkar (Paducah, Kentucky).
