THE JUNGLE | MOBILE, Ala. - Two days after a 3-1 win over LSU-Alexandria (La.) in the home opener at the Jungle, the University of Mobile Women's Soccer team was handed the first loss of the 2024 season by former SSAC foe Bethel University (Tenn.) on Monday afternoon, Sept. 2. The Rams were shutout at home 3-0 by the Wildcats during the Labor Day match, seeing the overall record fall to 2-1-1 on the year.
Bethel managed the first goal of the match in just the seventh minute, later going up 2-0 on Mobile in the 15th minute. In the 33rd minute of the match, Bethel took a 3-0 lead over the Rams. The three goals in the first half was enough as neither team recorded a score in the final 45 minutes.
