FULTON, Miss. - In a battle of undefeated teams, the Lady Indians (4-1-0, 2-1-0) suffered their first loss as No. 13 Holmes (6-0-0, 3-0-0) took advantage of two quick first half goals to pick up the 3-1 win. Despite the loss, the Lady Indians are still off to the best start in program history.
How it Happened
Holmes took a 2-0 lead late in first half scoring under three minutes apart before Brittany Mathis (Pontotoc) cut the Lady Bulldogs lead to 2-1 15 minutes into the second half.
The Lady Indians had several scoring opportunities in the second half but were unable to find the equalizer and Holmes added a goal in the closing minutes to put the game out of reach.

Renasant Reaction
"We didn't play our best in the first half," said Coach David Strother.
