LOUIS – Redshirt junior Sidney Christopher scored her first goal of the season four minutes into the contest for 1-0 lead, but Saint Louis countered with five unanswered goals for a 5-1 victory over SIUE on Saturday evening at CITYPARK in St.
Louis, Missouri. SIUE falls to 2-3-1 on the season. Saint Louis improves to 4-2-0. "We are happy with the way we started the game," Head Coach Derek Burton said. "We felt good after SLU's first goal, but the second goal took a bit of a mental toll on us heading into halftime." Christopher gave SIUE a 1-0 advantage early in the contest, scoring at the 3:51 mark in the first half.
She becomes the eighth player this season to score a goal for the Cougars this season. The Billikens flipped the Cougars' momentum 16 minutes later, tying the game up 1-1. SLU would later take a 2-1 advantage five minutes shy of the first half conclusion for a lead heading into the locker room. Saint Louis kept its foot on the gas in the second half, finding the back of the net three more times for a 5-1 victory. The Cougars put up three shots on goal in the contest, all of which came in the first half.
Saint Louis concluded the game with six shots on goal. Saturday marked the first neutral match meeting between the two schools. CITYPARK is home to St. Louis CITY SC of Major League Soccer. "It was an unbelievable opportunity to play here at CITYPARK," added Buton. "I think there's a bit of disappointment in our locker room with the result, so it's tough for our team to wrap our head around the opportunity we had to play here right now.
However, I couldn't be more appreciative to have had the opportunity to play in this wonderful facility." SIUE continues its 2023 campaign on the road at Indiana State on Sunday, Sep. 10. Kickoff is schedules for noon.
