LORMAN, Miss. – The Nicholls State University soccer team fell 1-0 to Alcorn State University Friday at Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium.

Four of six Colonels (2-3) shots were on goal. Nicholls' best chance came in the 74th minute when senior midfielder Emily Werenskiold put the ball on frame after a nice layoff from freshman midfielder Hannah Bodron.

Senior midfielder Mie Elvestad managed a team-high three shots, and sophomore goalkeeper Roosa Hurmerinta totaled five saves.

"I didn't set the team up properly for today's game," head coach Mac McBride said. "If ever there was a loss down to the coach this was it. I need to learn from this and do a better job in the future."

Lady Braves (1-2) forward and 2016 SWAC Freshman of the Year Rita Okoro took six shots on her own, putting Alcorn ahead in the 77th minute on a rebound from a free kick.

Nicholls travels to UL-Lafayette Sunday with kickoff slated for 6 p.m. CT.
