PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – A first half goal and one following a second half red card were too much for Alabama A&M (4-12-2, 2-5-2 SWAC) to overcome as they dropped a 2-0 decision to regular season champion Jackson State (9-7-1, 7-1-1 SWAC) in a Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Quarterfinal and an NCAA Division I women's soccer game on Thursday, November 3.
 
In a battle of two of the top defensive teams, the league-leading Tigers limited A&M to just three shots in the first half and showed their offensive prowess early on. With just two shots by either team through the 26^th minute, both by JSU, Kendyl Terrell would connect from in front of the goal mouth with 26:25 gone by for a 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs would notch all three of their shots in a four-minute window from the 36^th through the 40^th minute but could not connect, sending the clubs to the break with that margin.
 
Those would be the only shots Alabama A&M would manage the rest of the way and would find themselves shorthanded on defense for the final 34:45 following a red card. Just over 13 minutes later that would factor in as JSU's Sydni Wilson drove home the second goal of the game at 68:22. The Tigers would notch only three more shots the rest of the way but the damage was already done as they wrapped up the 2-0 decision.
 
Freshman forward Chelsie Charles (Los Angeles, Calif.) notched a pair of shots, one on frame, to lead the Bulldogs with graduate midfielder Sherice Clarke (St. Catherine, Jamaica) had the other. Freshman goalkeeper Ma'Kayla Prince (Hamilton, Ohio) played all 90 minutes in net, allowing both goals while making five saves. She finishes the season at 1-4-1.
 
Terrell and Wilson paced JSU with a score apiece and Annalise Brunson put all three of her shots on net. Tionna Taylor started in goal, playing 86:58 and made one save against no goals while Jordan Hamilton closed things out with the final 3:02.
 
Alabama A&M wraps up the 2022 campaign with a 4-12-2 overall record and 2-5-2 mark in league play, collecting four shutouts and a return to the postseason in the process.
