Box Score SCOOBA - History was made for Northwest in Tuesday's 9-1 victory at East Mississippi, as head coach James Beattie recorded his 70th victory and became the program's all-time winningest coach.

Beattie has now surpassed longtime former women's soccer coach Peter Jarjoura, who finished with a 69-68-10 overall mark from 2002-12. Jarjoura was inducted into the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.

With the win, the Lady Rangers also moved to 13-0 on the season and 9-0 in the MACCC, inching one step closer to clinching the program's first outright regular season conference championship. Northwest shared the regular season title last season in a three-way tie with Holmes and Jones College.

Despite the high notes for Northwest, it was actually East Mississippi that led for the first 13 minutes for the match, thanks to Tamia Motley's goal less than two minutes into regulation. The Lady Rangers wouldn't score until Mari Julia Delgado fed a pass to Emma Jensen, whose header tied the match in the 14th minute.

From there, the floodgates opened for Northwest, as Jensen recorded her second goal of the match and 13th goal of the season in the 19th minute. Delgado once again provided the assist, as the Lady Rangers took a 2-1 advantage.

Less than a minute later, Delgado would tack on an unassisted goal of her own, followed by a goal from Caroline Hamm in the 21st minute. Penny Warner provided the assist, as the Lady Rangers pushed their lead to 4-1.

In the 25th minute, sophomore Emma Earwood scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Jensen, and Allie Sifford capped off the first half scoring with a header from Lillie Grace McCutchen. By the end of the first half, Northwest led by a commanding 6-1 margin.

In terms of scoring, things were quiet for most of the second half, but the Lady Rangers had one last flurry of goals over the final nine minutes. Brandy Hernandez broke up the drought with an unassisted goal in the 82nd minute, before Sifford assisted Tabitha McMackin on a goal in the 87th minute. 

Molly Thompson would close things out in the final seconds, as Sifford provided the assist to cap off the 9-1 road win.

In all, Northwest totaled 44 shots in the contest, with 28 on-goal. The Lady Rangers outpaced East Mississippi 27-2 in total shots for the first half, as the Lady Lions finished the match with six shots.

Ann Marie Barton recorded her second victory as the Northwest goalkeeper, earning four saves. East Mississippi netted 19 saves for the match.

Next up for Northwest is the regular season road finale at Southwest Mississippi, scheduled for 5 P.M. on Tuesday, October 22. The Lady Rangers lead the all-time series by a 13-4 margin.
