Lady Braves Fall to Prairie View on Late Goals

LORMAN, Miss. - Sophomore Yaira Guardado scored two goals assisted by redshirt freshman Rita Okoro, but Prairie View A&M scored two goals late in the second half to down the Alcorn State University soccer team 4-2 Friday afternoon inside Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium.

Guardado has scored five goals in the past three contests for the Lady Braves (1-5, 1-3 SWAC). Her first goal came from a beautifully played cross from Okoro in the fifth minute to put Alcorn ahead 1-0. 

After the Lady Panthers (2-9, 2-2 SWAC) responded with two scores, Guardado took another Okoro cross and skipped the ball between the keeper's legs to tie the match at two in the 61st minute.

PVAMU would score two more goals in the next nine minutes and hold off Alcorn for the remaining 20. Lady Panthers striker Courtney Aleman notched two goals and Blair Lane and Alexis Mack each added one. 

The Lady Braves return to action in a Senior Day matchup Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in Spinks-Casem Stadium against Texas Southern.
