Three Rebels Score, Foster Enters Top-10 Scoring List
DALLAS, Texas โ Ole Miss took the lead less than two minutes in and never looked back, defeating Long Beach State 3-0 at Westcott Field Thursday afternoon.
ย
The Rebels (6-1-0) took the lead right from the jump, scoring in the second minute. Ole Miss took advantage of an LBSUย (2-4-0) miscue in the back, with Sophie Dineen finding Haleigh Stackpole in the middle of the 18-yard box for a clinical finish.
ย
Ole Miss needed some heroics from Ashley Orkus to preserve the lead in the 25th minute. A screaming shot from LBSU's Kayla Cannon seemed destined for top bins but Orkus layed out to get a hand on it, deflecting the ball onto the crossbar and out.
ย
Both teams created a few half chances with the remaining time in the half but neither could fully break down the other's defense, sending the match into the break with the Rebels up 1-0.
ย
With the next goal pivotal, the Rebels doubled their lead seven minutes into the second half. Molly Martin used a cutting pass to find Channing Foster all alone in the box and the Rebel striker made no mistakes, slotting her shot into the bottom corner.
ย
Foster nearly added another a couple of minutes later but a fine save from Marta Alemany Sanchez denied her a second brace in 2019.
ย
However, the Rebs would get their third in the 72nd minute, with Madisyn Pezzino's corner delivery finding Julia Phillips for a header into the top right corner of the goal.
ย
LBSU had a chance to pull one back with 15 minutes remaining after Orkus was called for a foul in the box for a penalty. Instead, the Rebel keeper atoned for the mistake with a clutch save on Mackenzie Magaoay's attempt from the spot.
ย
The Rebels continued to create chances until the very last minute but the three goals of offense were more than enough to earn a quality win away from home.
ย
Ole Miss will return to Oxford for the first time in two weeks on Sunday, taking on South Alabama at 1 p.m. at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium.
