COMMERCE, Texas – Little Rock dropped its season opener at East Texas A&M, falling 4-1 despite an early goal from sophomore Maggie Turner.
The game started with both teams dueling for the ball; possession would change in the blink of an eye and it looked like neither team could take the edge. The Trojans, led by midfielders Emma Beattie and Candice Kilderry, started to take control of the ball on the Lion's half of the field, and in the 15th minute, Maggie Turner scored her first goal as a Trojan from the corner of the box with the assist from Amaya Arias.
