Rebels Suffer Heartbreaking Overtime Loss in Orange Beach
ORANGE BEACH, Ala. – With just 12 seconds remaining on the clock at the Orange Beach Sportsplex, Ole Miss suffered a heartbreaking overtime defeat to LSU at the SEC Soccer Tournament, falling 2-1 to the Tigers.
The decisive moment came from the right win, as LSU's (2-6-2) Meghan Johnson fed a cross through the six yards box that was tapped in by Tinaya Alexander for the golden goal, securing a brace for the Tiger striker.
Despite a hot start for the Rebels, taking three of the first four shots of the match, Ole Miss (4-5-0) found itself down in the 32nd minute behind Alexander's first goal. The redshirt junior picked off a misplayed ball near the midfield stripe and drove forward on a breakaway, cutting back to her left foot before lifting a shot past Ashley Orkus in goal.
The Rebels battled back to knot the match up just before the break, with Madisyn Pezzino breaking through in the 44th minute. Receiving a Haleigh Stackpole pass with her back to goal, Pezzino put her defender on skates before burying a shot in the side netting, deadlocking the score at 1-1 heading into halftime.
The Tigers had a golden opportunity to take the lead midway through the second half, being awarded a shot from the spot when the ball struck Madison Smith's hand inside the 18-yard box. However, recently named SEC Goalkeeper of the Year stepped up and made a crucial save on the ensuing penalty, keeping the score tied at a goal apiece.
With neither side able to break through before the clock hit zeroes, the match was extended into extra time.
Ole Miss started off strong in the overtime period, digging out a pair of scoring chances within the first two minutes that forced LSU keeper Mollee Swift to make a couple of quality saves. However, just before the end of the first extra time session, heartbreak struck as Alexander's golden goal brought an end to the Rebels' fall season.
