HAMMOND, La. – Stephen F. Austin scored a pair of goals in each half to take a 4-0 Southland Conference win over Southeastern Louisiana Sunday afternoon in Strawberry Stadium.

    Junior Hanna Barker converted a turnover into a goal midway through the first half for SFA (9-4-0, 6-2-0). Senior Amanda Doyle added a goal eight minutes later, while senior Hailey Hunt and sophomore Crystal Calvit tacked on goals in the second half. Barker and freshmen Mari Gillespie and Michaela Mencacci recorded assists. Senior Lillie Ehlert made eight saves for the Ladyjacks, who snapped a two-match conference losing streak.

    Senior Hope Sabadash pulled in seven saves for Southeastern (6-8-2, 3-4-1). Sophomore Payton Colson took three shots, all on goal, while freshman Ylva Svendsen put both her shots on the net.

    "We had a few mental errors that led to them to having scoring opportunities," Southeastern interim head coach Matt Muia said.

    Southeastern will embark on its final road trip of the season next weekend, visiting Central Arkansas Friday at 7 p.m. and Northwestern State Sunday at 1 p.m. The Lady Lions are tied with Houston Baptist for the fourth spot in the conference tournament race.
