Hammond, La. – Sam Houston State and Southeastern Louisiana battled to a scoreless tie in women’s soccer action Friday afternoon.
The result helped the Bearkats to remain unbeaten in Southland Conference play with a 2-0-1 record. SHSU is 5-7-1 for the year. The shutout was the fifth for the Bearkat defense.
Goalkeeper Kylie Hambleton, the Kats’ back line of Amanda Biega, Lindsey Posner, Ashley Fluty and Kayla Anderson and midfielder Shelby McDaniel each played all 110 minutes of the double overtime contest.
Sam Houston totaled 12 shots while Southeastern Louisiana took 10. Strong play by the defense helped shut down the Lions’ offense as Hambleton had to make only two saves in goal. Her counterpart, Lacey Bockhaus, was forced to make eight saves including one of a shot by Tricia Mallory with less than two minutes left in the first overtime.
“We played well,” Sam Houston head coach Tom Brown said. “We just couldn’t stick it in.”
Mallory led the Bearkats with four shots.
Sam Houston now travels to Tulsa to take on Oral Roberts Sunday afternoon.

The Most Bizarre Play In Baseball History
by Cheval John
I have been a fan of sports for a very time
When I started covering sports over a year ago, I knew that it was going to be fun.
I also knew that I would be able to witness history, like the Bearkat football team’s historic run towards the national championship.
Along the way, I witnessed bizarre plays that forces you to ask, “What just happened?”
One of those plays happened on Saturday when the Washington Nationals played St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
With the bases loaded, Michael Morse hit a fly ball to right field and it went over the fence and hit the second wall of the field.
In the process, it landed back onto the field and Carlos Beltran played it like a live ball.
Morse, believing that it was a grand slam, was in the homerun trot when he was tagged out.
The umpires gathered together to look at the replay and saw that it was a homerun and awarded it to him.
