MURRAY, Ky.– The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team fell to Missouri Valley Conference foe Murray State this afternoon, 6-1.

That was one of Kala’s three shots during the match while Peyton Cook (three shots, two on goal), Robinson (one shot), Izzy Patterson (one shot), Unni Wolf (one shot) and Caroline Moore (one shot on goal) fired off attempts during the contest.
Mac Titus (six saves) and Jordyn Riffle (four saves) split time in the net while Parker Gelinas, Shayla Addington and Kala played the entire match for UT Martin. Maren Cain, Daksha Sutharshan and Riffle also made their season debuts in today’s match.

Titus made three saves in a 16-minute span to keep the score at 1-all but the Racer offense would add first-half goals in the 27th, 40th and 41st minutes before striking again in the 69th and 90th minute.
