Foster Scores Late to Push Ole Miss Over Arkansas State
8/29/2021 | Soccer
Rebels Outlast Red Wolves, 2-1, in Jonesboro
JONESBORO, Ark. – Battling scorching hot elements on the road, Ole Miss (2-0-1) topped Arkansas State (1-2-1) on Sunday afternoon behind a 75th minute goal from Channing Foster.
Foster was on a mission in the match, peppering the Red Wolves' goal with nine shots. On the day, Ole Miss posted 22 shots to Arkansas State's eight.
Sydney Michalak came within inches of giving Ole Miss the lead less than seven minutes in, hitting a short clearance first time from 20 yards out and striking the crossbar.
The Rebels again had a great opportunity to take the lead in the 17th minute, with Ramsey Davis, Saydie Holland and Foster firing off three-consecutive shots in the box within 10 seconds. However, none of the attempts were able to get cleanly through on goal.
Ole Miss kept pushing and in the 29th minute broke through. Taking advantage of Taylor Radecki's long throw ability, Molly Martin got up higher than anyone in the center of the 18 and headed the ball on to the bottom corner.
Foster nearly put the Rebels up two just minutes into the second half, striking a shot from the center of the box right at Arkansas State keeper Megan McClure. Instead, the Red Wolves drew level not long after as Sarah Sodoma slipped behind the back line and slid a shot inside the left post.
After a couple of chances to strike back went by the wayside for the Rebs, Channing Foster reclaimed the lead in the 76th minute, easily finishing after a Mo O'Connor Cross and a Haleigh Stackpole flicked feed. Foster nearly made it two braces in as many games late on but was denied by McClure as Ole Miss wrapped up the win.
QUICK KICKS
• Molly Martin scored her second goal in the first three matches of the season, both coming on the road.
• Foster's goal was her third in the last two matches and the 38th of her career, moving into a tie for the fourth most in program history.
• Of the eight goals that Foster has scored since the start of the 2020 season, seven have been game-winners.
• Taylor Radecki garnered an assist on Martin's opening score, her third in the last two matches. Radecki's three assists are good for the team lead.
NEXT UP
The Rebels will look to make it three wins in a row on Thursday, heading to Mobile, Alabama, for a road matchup with South Alabama. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.
