or the second time in SWAC finals history, JSU faced off against MVSU for the title. Since 2007, JSU and MVSU have met three times in the conference tournament. In 2010, Jackson State outscored Mississippi Valley State, 2-0, in the last 20 minutes of the game giving the Lay Tigers their first ever SWAC Soccer Championship, one they wanted to attain again. With most of the first half scoreless, it seemed like a repeat of 2010, until Shanesse Spratt scored the first goal of the game at the 36:54 mark sending the game into halftime with a 1-0 score. The Lady Tigers turned up the momentum, firing off 4 shots on goal in the second half. Shelby Willcock, MVSU keeper, was ready for them as she stopped all four shots giving Mississippi Valley State the victory over Jackson State. Â
