September 21, 2021 (Mena Arkansas)- After coming off a win against National Park last Friday, the Rich Mountain Bucks approached their home field looking to continue their victory streak and succeeded with a 4-0 win against Murray State College.
The Bucks started strong with having majority possession of the ball in the first half. It was Remmie Ferla who had two solid attempts at scoring in the few minutes of the game, but the Bucks didn't get a point on the score board until Micaela Nunez delivered the ball into bottom left corner of the net in the 11th minute. The goal was assisted by Jess Douglas and Bailey Tillotson off a corner kick.
The Bucks would make several more attempts at scoring, with 12 shots and 7 on goal total in the first half but scored once more off the foot of Gracie Evans in the 24th minute.
Due to strong defense, the Bucks ended the first half without allowing Murray to score once and with a score of 2-0.
The Bucks didn't let up in the second half of the game and would score 2 more points. Rihanna Holmes was responsible for the first goal of the half, thanks to an assist by Remmie Ferla, who would later score in the 58th minute of the game. The Bucks held their lead, again refusing to allow Murray to score and ended the game with a score of 4-0.
Another honorable mention of the game was goal keeper Melanie Glossup, who had a save in the second half.
The Bucks are expected to play again on at 2:00 pm Sept 26 at Eastern Oklahoma State College.
