2019 - Gamecocks win their fifth Ohio Valley Conference women’s soccer championship

In 2019, the Jacksonville State Gamecocks women’s soccer team won their fifth Ohio Valley Conference championship. The team finished the regular season with a 9-7-3 overall record and a 7-2-1 record in conference play, which was enough to clinch the regular-season title.

In the conference tournament, the Gamecocks defeated Eastern Kentucky 1-0 in the semifinals before facing off against Southeast Missouri State in the championship game. The championship game was a closely contested match, with neither team able to score during regulation time. However, in the 98th minute of the game, senior forward Maria Brodersen scored the game-winning goal, giving the Gamecocks a 1-0 victory and securing their fifth Ohio Valley Conference championship.

The victory earned the Gamecocks an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship. In the first round of the tournament, the team faced off against the University of South Florida, but unfortunately, they were defeated 3-0, bringing an end to their season. Despite the early exit from the tournament, the Gamecocks’ 2019 season was a successful one, with their fifth Ohio Valley Conference championship adding to the program’s history of success in women’s soccer.
