FLORENCE, Ala. – The Delta State Lady Statesmen soccer team concluded the 2009 season with an 8-1 defeat at the hands of the North Alabama Lady Lions on Wednesday.

Tassia Augusto scored four goals for the Lady Lions (16-2-1), who finished Gulf South Conference play with a perfect 7-0 record.

The Lady Statesmen (2-11) were winless in seven conference matches this season.

Kristin Stensholt scored her second goal of the season in the 60th minute to provide the Lady Statesmen's only tally. Jackie Kelly provided the assist.

The Lady Lions controlled the pace of play throughout the match, and ended up outshooting Delta State 27-1. Sam Le Jeune made four saves in goal for the Lady Statesmen.
