SE soccer claims share of OVC title

MARTIN, Tenn. -- Southeast Missouri State's women's soccer team claimed at least a share of the Ohio Valley Conference title Wednesday, knocking off University of Tennessee-Martin 2-0.

The Skyhawks and Otahkians were scoreless until the 54:39 mark when Julie Wunderlich deflected a goal off UT-Martin goalkeeper Caryn Scheufler. Wunderlich's goal came off a Nicole Thiele assist.

Less than two minutes later, Thiele scored the insurance goal on an assist from Marla Gianino.

Southeast, which outshot UTM 18-4, improved to 13-1 and 4-0 in the OVC, while the Skyhawks dropped to 4-12 and 1-3.

Southeast goalkeeper Beth Guccione needed only two saves to record the shutout.
