CROWN POINT, Ind. - The Indiana University Kokomo women's soccer team fell short against Governor's State Wednesday afternoon, falling to the Jaguars 1-0 despite dominating the second half of a match that was played in Crown Point, Indiana.

The Cougars outshot Governor's State 21-7, but the Jaguars had five shots on goal compared to IU Kokomo's three.

The early minutes of the match were competitive, and IU Kokomo had chances in the sixth minute. However, it was Governor's State who would find the back of the net for the early lead.

In the 15th minute, Jaguar Grace McLaughlin took advantage of a turnover to score her first goal of the season. 

Governor's State maintained control for much of the remainder of the first half, but it was not without some scoring chances for IU Kokomo's Keely Hoopingarner. Hoopingarner had a pair of opportunities in the 44th minute, and finished the match with five shots.

IU Kokomo seemed to come out of halftime a different team, playing inspired and as one. The Cougars went on to dominate possession and play in the second half, but were unable to beat the GSU goalkeeper. Despite outshooting the Jaguars 14-3 in the second half, IU Kokomo lost 1-0 to Governor's State.

Junior goalkeeper Alicia Burns got the start in goal for IU Kokomo, making four saves on five shots on target.
