Unlike previous matches, the Sun Devils did not have a slow start, just the opposite actually. However, after Olivia Nguyen scored the game’s first goal 37 seconds into the contest, No. 17 LSU (6-0-0) dominated the rest of Sunday’s top 25 matchup. The Tigers handed No. 21 Arizona State (5-1-0) its first loss of the season following a 5-2 result.
LSU took advantage of the young goalkeeper Birta Gudlaugs in net for the Sun Devils, and honestly a few good roles. Especially in the first half, Arizona State’s defense seemed to be lacking its usual chemistry.
The Tigers raced downed quickly to find the equalizer.
