Yep. I missed capturing the shot because I was jumping up and down.
Bobcat Soccer 2022
- Thread starter Josh
- Start date
Soccer opened conference play today with a 2-1 victory over Arkansas State. (Now 7-1-1 (1-0-0))
We had at least two starters out. (from what I could tell) I missed the TCU game because I had to catch up on schoolwork last Sunday, so I don't know the extent of either. Peschel didn't play at all today and was on crutches on the sideline when she didn't have her leg wrapped & elevated. I didn't see Juana Plata anywhere.
Anyhow.. I've made it out to 4 games so far this year and have had a blast each time. This team is gritty and fun to watch.
If anyone needs to re-fill their Bobcat pride a little, I highly recommend catching a match before the season is over. The games are free, and this team has earned some decent crowds to play in front of. They're not a dull or disappointing outing either.

Zoe Junior is having a phenomenal season. She's a star (no exaggeration) -incredibly fast and athletic... It's wild to me that she is only a sophomore because she's going to be a force for a while.
GK Katelyn Chrisman is tough as hell too. She's got some developing to do, but her fierceness is just about everything you want in goal.

The Eagles are coming off a scoreless draw at Troy to open conference play. The lone win of the season came at North Florida (3-1) on Aug. 25 while the three non-conference draws were against Jacksonville, Northern Arizona and UAB. Thursday will be just the second home match of the season for GS with the first being the draw to the Blazers back on Aug. 21.
Five goals have been tallied by the Eagles with one apiece from Ellie McIntyre, Elis Nemtsov, Smith Cathey, Simone Timm and Kendal Wilson. Credited with a team-high three assists is Erin Wilkins.

All-Time Series
Texas State leads the all-time series 4-2-1.

Prior to last year’s setback, the TXST had won three straight in the series with all of them being shutouts.
When facing the Eagles on the road, the Bobcats are 1-2-1 all-time. The lone victory came on Oct. 7, 2018 by a 3-0 score and clinched a spot in that year’s Sun Belt Tournament. The draw came in the first meeting between the programs on Oct. 24, 2014 and ended 1-1.

Update on this: I noticed Juana Plata played a little bit last night but Bailey Peschel didn't.
I was just listening to the States Up podcast and unfortunately Brant mentioned that Peschel is out for the season. Apparently she tore her ACL in practice last week before the Arkansas State game.

A little late because I got way behind in my assignments this week and had to catch up this weekend after the football game.
We lost to a great JMU team on Thursday and then bounced back to beat Louisiana on the road.
