Grambling State ties Southern in SWAC Semifinals; SU Advances on Penalties

PRAIRIE VIEW, TX. | The Grambling State University women's soccer team battled No. 3 Southern University to a scoreless draw through 90 minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of extra time in the semifinals of the 2024 SWAC Women's Soccer Tournament Friday evening at the PVAMU Soccer Complex. However, Southern advanced to the championship game following a 6-5 victory in a dramatic penalty shootout.

The match ended in a 0-0 stalemate after both teams were unable to break the deadlock during full time and overtime. Grambling outshot Southern 13-4 throughout the contest but was unable to find the back of the net. Despite several close calls, the Lady Tigers were stymied by Southern's goalkeeper, who made several key saves in regulation and overtime to force the shootout.

In penalties, Southern proved to be clinical, converting six of their attempts, while Grambling's two misses proved costly.

"We dominated for most of 110 minutes tonight and scored one that was called back late," said Head Coach Justin Wagar. "Southern should feel happy about the opportunity to play on Sunday despite the flow of the game."
