The Eastern women’s soccer team came away with one win and one loss after its third week of Ohio Valley Conference action.

The Panthers snapped their four-game winning streak on Friday in Clarksville, Tenn., against second place Austin Peay 3-0 but bounced back with a 2-1 win on Sunday in Murray, Ky., over Murray State.

Eastern interim head coach Jason Cherry knew about Austin Peay’s Tatiana Ariza, the conference’s top goal scorer, and said last week that a key to the match would be containing the Colombian national player.

But Ariza wasted no time, scoring in the first minute and a half of the match to put the Governors up 1-0.

Senior forward Joceline Quiceno found the back of the net in the 19th minute to give Austin Peay a two-goal lead entering halftime.

Then, after a mostly scoreless second half that saw a shot from Eastern’s Madison Carter go off the crossbar in the 68th minute and a near miss from junior Meagan Radloff in the 71st minute, Ariza would score again in the 82nd minute, leading Austin Peay to the 3-0 win.

The win was Ariza’s 13th career multi-goal match.

The Panthers got back on track on Sunday, getting their second road win of the season over Murray State, where Radloff would again find the back of the net for her third game-winning goal win on the season.

Radloff received an assist from Carter and was able to beat the keeper in the 59th minute to give the Panthers the 2-1 win. The goal was Radloff’s fifth of the season.

Eastern’s Lauren Hoppensteadt scored the Panthers’ first goal in the 23rd minute for her first goal of the season. Murray State’s Julia Mooney responded in the 30th minute to tie the match.

The win puts Eastern at 5-1 in the OVC, still in first place in the conference.

Austin Peay lost to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville 1-0 on Sunday, putting the Governors at 4-1-1.

Sophomore Cortney Jerzy started both matches in goal for Eastern. She made nine saves against Austin Peay and 13 against Murray State.

Eastern will be at home this weekend in its only matchup of the week.

The Panthers will take on last place Jacksonville State (0-5-1) at 3 p.m. at Lakeside Field.

The Gamecocks recorded their first draw of the season on Sunday against Tennessee Tech, tying 0-0.
