The Alabama State University women's soccer team suffered a 4-0 defeat in their season's first road game against South Alabama, after weather delays necessitated a change in venue and a delayed kickoff. Despite solid defensive play in the first half, the Hornets (0-3 overall) couldn't overcome a first-half goal from the Jaguars (1-2), who dominated with three goals shortly after halftime, including two by Aliya Gomes. Alabama State's offense struggled to find momentum, with only one shot in the second half, while their defense was put to the test all night. The Hornets will seek redemption at home against Kennesaw State in their next outing.
