Box Score In the longest road trip of the year, the Lady Bears wanted to continue to build their resume towards a postseason birth by trying to get a win at Itawamba. But Southwest had difficulty playing its brand of soccer, Friday, as the Lady Bears endured an unfortunate 3-0 setback against the Lady Indians.

"I don't think that we played our best soccer today," Southwest head coach Nicole Cooper said. "We're still struggling a little bit offensively. We had maybe double to amount of shots as them (Itawamba) and nothing was super challenging or dangerous for the keeper."

The Lady Bears (6-3-3, 2-3-2 MACCC) tried to set the tone early but Itawamba struck first in the 20^th minute with a lengthy goal putting the visitors down 1-0.

The deficit, unfortunately, grew to 2-0 8:00 later following another goal by the Lady Indians.

Southwest continued to compete but couldn't get into rhythm as Itawamba added one more score in the 71^st minute.

The Lady Bears return home Tuesday to host No. 5 Jones at 5 p.m.
