LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- The University of Tennessee at Martin soccer team didn't allow a shot on goal for the entirety of the second half but a score in the 31^st minute proved to be the difference as Little Rock earned the win, 1-0.

Peyton Cook had a team-best three shots with a match-high two shots on goal for the Skyhawks. Makayla Robinson, Izzy Patterson and Anna Østergaard Ibsen had two shots apiece while Brooke Kala (one shot on goal) and Nyeemah Prescod-Beckles (one shot) also contributed to the UT Martin offense.

Goalkeeper Mac Titus faced 13 shots and made two saves for the Skyhawks (2-7-3, 1-3 OVC). Titus played the full 90 minutes alongside teammates Maren Cain, Patterson, Parker Gelinas and Kala.

Titus swatted away a pair of Trojan shot on goal opportunities in the 9^th minute and 13^th minute. Kala fired a shot on goal in the 21^st minute but Trojan goalkeeper Peyton Urban was there for the save to keep the match knotted in a scoreless tie.

Little Rock (6-5-2, 3-0-1 OVC) would break through and score the eventual game-winning goal in the 30^th minute from Candice Kilderry. No other side would attempt a shot on goal for the remainder of the opening half.

The Skyhawks came out aggressive in the second half, outshooting the host Trojans by a 9-5 margin. Patterson and Cook led the charge with back-to-back shots on goal in the 49^th and 50^th minutes but Urban would make stops for the Trojans.

Cook (52^nd minute) and Østergaard Ibsen (77^th minute) would push forward for two more shot-on-goal opportunities but Little Rock deterred both attempts. Robinson and Cook both fired a shot in the waning moments in hopes of a game-tying score but UT Martin's comeback bid would fall just short.

The Skyhawks return home for a bout with defending OVC Tournament champion Morehead State on Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. on ESPN+.
