FOLEY, Ala. - The Little Rock Trojans advanced to the Sun Belt Women's Soccer Championship final after picking up a 2-0 win over sixth-seeded Georgia State behind Jaclyn Purvine's two-goal performance on Friday at the Foley Sports Tourism Complex. With tonight's win, Little Rock broke a school record for the most wins a season as they now have 13 wins in 2018.

The Trojans wasted no time getting forward in the attempt to score as quickly as possible. Fanney Einarsdottir hit the crossbar in the first minute of play with her blast from well outside the box. Sairra Tucker nearly got to the rebound in time to score the opening goal but it wasn't to be for the senior.

Morgan Smocovich also fired two long range shots in the first ten minutes that required very good saves from the Georgia State goalkeeper.

Little Rock had another good chance in the 24th minute when Tucker did well to beat a defender on the wing and send in her cross, but the ball was deflected just before it reached the six-yard box. The Panthers got back into the game after this opportunity and nearly found a goal just before halftime. The Trojans held the advantage in shots on goal at the end of the first 45 minutes, but the game was played quite evenly.

The breakthrough came in the 54th minute when Arola Aparicio Gili threaded a pass to Purvine who took the shot from the right side of the box first time on her right foot to drive the ball into the back of the net to give her team a 1-0 advantage.

A little over 10 minutes later, Little Rock doubled their lead when Smocovich picked up her second assist in two games from a corner, which Purvine would rise up to knock home and make the score 2-0. The senior's two goals on the night were her 11th and 12th of the season.

For the rest of the match, Georgia State struggled to find any kind of offensive rhythm as the Trojan defense proved to be too much for the Panthers.

The Trojans picked up their 11th shutout of the season, further increasing the school record.

Little Rock will return to play the championship game in Foley, Ala. against top-seeded Texas State on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 1 p.m. CT.
