LORMAN, Miss. – In the final home appearances for seniors Vanessa Monge and Yaira Guardado, Texas Southern was able to snatch a 3-1 decision over the Alcorn State University soccer program Sunday on Senior Day at Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium.
 
Alcorn (0-14, 0-9 SWAC) trailed TSU (6-7-2, 6-2-1 SWAC) 3-0 when sophomore Mireya Gonzalez got the Lady Braves on the board in the 80th minute. It came after a through-ball by Guardado got Gonzalez past the defenders as she dribbled about 15 yards and ripped a shot into the lower right corner of the net.

It was Gonzalez's second goal and Guardado's third assist of the season.
 
The Lady Tigers opened the scoring in the 19th minute after Mia Marshall intercepted a pass from the goalkeeper and scored. They added on with goals by Desiree Harte and Macey Shipman.
 
Alcorn registered seven shots in the match with four on goal. Guardado led the way with two shots.
 
The Lady Braves continued to split time evenly among their goalkeepers. Both junior Giselle Rojas and sophomore Kameran Proby made four saves in 45 minutes apiece.
 
Alcorn will close out the 2018 season Thursday when it travels to Mississippi Valley State for a 7 p.m. game under the lights.
