Alabama’s soccer squad delivered a 3-0 shutout against South Alabama at the Alabama Soccer Stadium, marking the third straight clean sheet in a defensive stretch that began in October.
A Perfect Record from the Spot
Senior forward Larkin Thomason was flawless on penalty kicks, converting all five attempts this season and surpassing the previous program record of four. Her composure under pressure added a crucial layer to the team's offensive arsenal.
Thomason struck twice in the second half, the latter coming after a scramble in front of goal that saw the goalkeeper’s initial save rebound to her for a quick finish.
Freshman Maison Smith opened the scoring in the 24th minute, slotting a low strike after a swift one‑two pass from Chelsea Rogers and Ashley Roni.
Coach Wes Hart praised the team’s heightened offensive urgency and tighter possession, noting that the side generated more quality chances than in earlier outings.
The next test will be a home clash with Samford on Thursday, September 3, at 7 p.m. CT, a match that will be played on the familiar turf of Tuscaloosa.
