Box Score Highlight

Six goals is the most since Jackson State in 2016

MURFRESSBORO, TN - The Lady Raiders made a statement in their 6-1 victory Sunday over a quality opponent in the UTEP Miners, who were on a three match winning streak. This match saw five different players score goals for the Raiders, with junior Peyton DePriest netting two goals.

The six goals scored by Middle Tennessee is their most since putting away six on Jacksonville State in August of 2016.

It didn't take long for the scoring party to commence for MTSU, with Amber Hoot gets her first goal of the season directly off a corner just seven minutes into the game. Hannah Tillett quickly followed with a goal of her own a couple minutes later, slotting away a penalty kick.

The highlight of the match came off of a beautifully executed set piece early in the first half. Claire Ramet drilled a shot into the upper left corner after a perfect lay-off from Amber Hoot.

BRILLIANT! Claire Ramet with the #SCtop10 candidate of a goal! 🤩🤩

DePriest and Sam DeBien would also join in on the early scoring party, which would put MT up 5-0. The Raiders five goals would come within 14 minutes of each other, a very impressive feat.

Not only were the Raiders dominate on the offensive side of the ball, they held the Miners to zero shots on target in the first half, while putting five shots on target and scoring five goals giving them a 100% conversion rate.

The Raiders would go on to dominate in the second half, adding another goal to their tally by way of a penalty kick scored by Peyton DePriest, bringing her total to nine goals for this season and she is just six away from breaking the program record for goals scored in a career.

This is easy!🤣🤣

Peyton DePriest puts away her second goal of the match!
