CLEVELAND, Miss. – Freshman forward RITA OKORO from the Alcorn State University soccer program notched her first career goal in the 11th minute of an 11-1 defeat Tuesday against Delta State in the non-conference finale at Delta Field.

Okoro found space in the middle of the pitch on a feed from senior midfielder COMFORT AGYEI and slipped the ball past the keeper to tie the match at one.

The Lady Braves (0-2) were outscored 10-0 in the remaining 79 minutes of the game. Alcorn took 18 total shots and four corner kicks and forced the Lady Statesmen (3-1) into nine offside calls. Okoro fired nine shots with five on goal. Freshman goalie GISELLE ROJAS recorded three saves.

DSU had seven different goal scorers including Catherine Thomson who fronted the squad with three. Taylor Guess and Ali Sullivan each contributed two goals for the Lady Statesmen.

The Lady Braves host Howard in their home and conference opener Sept. 23 inside Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium on a 4 p.m. start.
