Alabama soccer beat LSU 2-1 in Tuesday evening’s quarterfinals to head to the SEC Championship semifinals.
“I was really pleased with our performance today. I thought we came out and dominated from the opening whistle,” said head coach Wes Hart.
This is the Crimson Tide’s sixth SEC Tournament semifinals appearance.
In the first half, the Crimson Tide had taken nine shots, but none made it to the back of the net. LSU hadn’t been scored on since playing Texas A&M on Oct. 18.
“We created some great chances and were a bit unfortunate not to go into halftime with the lead,” Hart said.
After halftime, Alabama took five shots before finding the back of the net. In the 69th minute, midfielder Melina Rebimbas sent the ball to the bottom right of the goal off of her right boot.
Alabama took two more shots before LSU forward Ava Galligan sent a ball to the bottom center of the goal in the 80th minute to tie the game 1-1.
The Crimson Tide needed to score again in the last 10 minutes of the game, to avoid overtime or penalty kicks.
Forward Ashley Roni was awarded a penalty in the 87th minute to have a chance at the winning goal. Roni stepped up to the mark and sent the ball to the bottom right of the net, securing a win for the Crimson Tide and a spot in the semifinals.
“I thought our depth played a huge role in our win today. We had so many great performances,” Hart said.
No. 3 Alabama will play No. 2 South Carolina on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. CT.
