MOBILE, Ala. – The Louisiana State University of Alexandria women's soccer team (1-2-0) fell to the University of Mobile (2-0-1), 3-1.
 
"It was a poor first half showing defensively," LSUA Head Coach Mark Hammond said. "When you give a good side opportunities to get ahead and control the game, it's always going to be tough. We made some adjustments in the second half and looked better. When you're down 3-0, you're always going to be chasing the game and that's a hard thing to do. We have a chance on Monday to be better and figure out more about ourselves."
 
Micaela Nunes scored the only goal for the Generals, coming on a penalty kick in the 49^th minute.
 
Mobile's offense struck a trio of times in the opening stanza. Raegan Latiolais started the scoring for the Rams. Andi Hughes dribbled up the left wing and sent a low service into the middle of the box where Latiolais sent it home. Five minutes later, Lindsey Meza headed a service from Ashlyn Broussard into the back of the net. The Rams' final goal of the half came in the 43^rd minute. Delainy Cunningham headed a cross from Bailey Bronner for a 3-0 advantage.
 
Victoria Weber made one save in the first half, turning aside a shot from Cunningham in the 39^th minute.
 
The Generals recorded five shots in the first half, however, none were on net. Alexia Bermejo Jo had the game's first opportunity but it went wide right. Nunes and Sacha Backus each recorded one shot. Remmie Ferla had a pair of shots blocked in the in the 37^th and 38^th minutes.
