MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team rallied from a second half deficit to tally a 2-1 victory at Middle Tennessee on Sunday to wrap up the squad's four-game road trip.

The Skyhawks (2-2-2) allowed a goal in the 60th minute of the match before finding the game's equalizer in the 65th minute by junior Bella Roberts for her first goal of the season off an assist from Hendrikje Baurmann (second) and Catey Hunt (second). The game would then remain scoreless for nearly 20 additional minutes before the Skyhawks found the ultimate game-winner off a strike from Baylee Arnott off an assist by Jill Hildreth in the 84th minute to seal the victory.

The win marked the first road victory for the Skyhawks this season and second overall of the season. As a team, UT Martin was outshot by Middle Tennessee 13-10 while tallying three shots on goal. The trio of Nicole Collins, Alice Adams and Roberts led the team with two shots apiece.

Junior goalkeeper Erica Myers notched her 18th career victory which ranks tied for third in program history. Myers tallied five saves on the afternoon while allowing just one goal in 90 minutes of action. With the game, she has tallied 36 saves on the season, which already surpasses last season's total.

Middle Tennessee (3-3) found the early goal off the foot of Miya Lennon who came in off the bench. As a whole, the Blue Raiders tallied 13 shots – including six on goal – while Hannah Tillett paced the squad with three shot attempts. Meanwhile in goal, Sydney Chalcraft tallied a pair of saves while allowing two goals to earn the individual loss.

UT Martin will return action when playing host to Big 10 foe Indiana on Thursday, Sept. 12. Action from Skyhawk Field is slated for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast exclusively on ESPN+.
