Lions Edge Past SEMO in Thrilling 2-1 Victory

Undefeated August culminates with key contributions from Yoder and Sobotka

A Night of Resilience

The University of North Alabama women's soccer team secured a 2-1 win over Southeast Missouri State on August 30, 2026, completing an undefeated August and showcasing their resilience.

Midfielder Monica Yoder broke the deadlock in the 14th minute with a well‑placed shot, and captain Charlotte Sobotka added the game‑winning goal in the 63rd minute, her strike coming after a sustained pressure that forced a defensive error.

The defensive unit preserved the lead, limiting SEMO to a single goal and maintaining a streak of three consecutive matches without allowing more than a single strike. The offense generated 22 total attempts, the second 20‑plus shot game of the season, with Maya Kelsch, Alana Owens and Anna Fuagrino leading the charge.

A Milestone Within Reach

Head coach Chris Walker recorded his 108th career victory, edging closer to the program's all‑time win record and reflecting the steady growth of the squad under his guidance.

Looking Westward

The Lions will travel to Riverside, California, for their first-ever meeting with California Baptist on September 3 at 9 p.m., a match that promises to test their newly forged firepower against a West Coast opponent.
