Box Score NATCHITOCHES – Stephen F. Austin's Chelsea Raymond scored twice as the Northwestern State Lady Demon soccer team fell 3-0 Sunday afternoon in a Southland Conference match-up.  

"We played a good first half, and then we had a little moment of collapse allowing SFA to score a few goals," said head coach George Van Linder.

NSU (5-7-1, 0-2-1) kept the Ladyjacks (11-3, 3-0) from scoring in the first half as both teams entered halftime scoreless.

SFA did not waste any time in the second half as it scored at the 48-minute mark. Zuri Prince knocked down a cross from Megan Dunnigan inside the box and shot low to put the Ladyjacks on the board.

Raymond earned her first tally less than five minutes later as she dribbled into the box and placed the ball into the lower left hand corner. She scored again at the 64-minute mark after receiving a short pass from Kylie Louw.

Lacey Lee and Morgan Glick made two saves each to give SFA the shutout. 

Brooke Bourbonais and Jessica Danku made a combined six saves in net.

"We are so close to being the type of team we want to be, but we have to demand more from ourselves," said Van Linder. 

The Lady Demons travel to Southland Conference opponent Sam Houston State on Friday. Kick-off is slated for 7 o'clock. They will return home on October 19th to face McNeese. The game is slated to begin at 7 o'clock at the Lady Demon soccer complex.
