ASU downs Tennessee-Martin

Senior Riley Ebenroth and sophomore Maggie Ertl scored in the 11th and 40th minutes, respectively, to give Arkansas State University a 2-0 victory over Tennessee-Martin on Thursday in J0nesboro.

Ebenroth scored the first goal of her Arkansas State career on a free kick from 25 yards out that was placed just beyond the goalkeeper’s reach.

The Red Wolves (1-0-0) kept the offensive pressure on throughout the remainder of the half and scored again when Ertl took a pass from Peyton Trester on the right side of the net and put away a cross for the two-goal advantage.

The victory was the second consecutive for Arkansas State over the Skyhawks dating to last season’s 2-0 win in Martin, Tenn.

Kelsey Ponder collected five saves in 67 minutes of work for the Red Wolves, before giving way to Megan McClure midway through the second half.

The match remained tied until the 21st where Riley’s birdie at the par-4 3rd toppled Overstreet.
