Pearl River falls on the road to Southwest

SUMMIT, Miss. — The Pearl River women’s soccer team couldn’t cash in on late chances on Friday falling on the road to Southwest, 2-1.

Southwest (3-2 overall; 2-0 MACCC) opened the scoring in the 32nd minute. After a successful dribble into the box, a well-placed shot gave them an early 1-0 advantage.

Pearl River (2-2-1; 2-1-1) was able to even the score just one minute into the second half of the contest. Aubrie Edwards (Biloxi) was fouled and earned a penalty kick. She stepped up to the ball and placed a shot right into the bottom right corner of the net to make the score 1-1.
