Redbirds Fall to Saint Louis, 2-0
NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State women's soccer team was topped by Saint Louis, 2-0, on Sunday afternoon at Adelaide Street Field.
The Billikens (1-3 overall) struck first on a 28th-minute header that appeared to have been saved by redshirt junior Priya Gillan for the Redbirds (1-3 overall), but the officials ruled that the ball had fully crossed the plane of the goal line before Gillan made the stop.
ISU's best first-half chance came in the 37th minute on a set piece. Fifth-year senior Ashley Santos sent a ball to the back post that found the head of junior Allison Baker just three yards out, but the SLU keeper was able to make the save.
