Kennesaw State Women's Soccer Falls to Auburn Tigers in Tough 6-0 Defeat
The Kennesaw State soccer team faced a tough defeat against the Auburn Tigers, losing 6-0 on the road. The match saw Julia Balchen and Aubrey Diskin making their collegiate debuts, while Auburn's Erin Flurey shined with four goals.
The first half of the game was marked by heavy rain, a common occurrence for the Owls this season. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the Tigers took the lead with Flurey scoring the opening goal. Auburn continued their dominance, adding another goal shortly after, which was initially ruled offside but overturned after a VAR review.
Although the Owls tried to create offensive opportunities, they were unable to convert their chances. Auburn capitalized on their momentum, with Flurey completing a first-half hat trick and Shelby Sallee extending the lead with a powerful shot.
The second half saw Auburn maintaining their attacking prowess, with Flurey scoring her fourth goal early on. The Tigers further solidified their lead with another goal off a corner kick, while a red card was issued to Raelyn Prince during a physical altercation.
