Box Score ARKADELPHIA, Ark. – The OBU Lady Tigers lost a tough conference match against the Southwestern Oklahoma State Bulldogs.  Final score was 1-0.

The second half featured a little more offense from the Lady Tigers as they were able to take eight shots. OBU's best attempt at a score came when Morgan Allen rebounded the ball off a deflection and took a shot while the SWOSU keeper was down. The shot was blocked by a Southwestern defender, however, right before entering the goal.
