AAMU Women's Soccer runs past Alcorn State

GoodenHUNTSVILLE, Alabama  — Ayanna Gooden was excited about playing in front of a home crowd.

The Alabama A&M forward showed why.


Gooden scored three goals as Alabama A&M ran past Alcorn State 6-0 Friday afternoon to remain perfect in SWAC play.

Alabama A&M (3-6-1, 3-0 in SWAC) entered the contest on a hot streak, and the Bulldogs showed no signs of cooling off.

Gooden put a penalty kick in the back of the net midway into the first half to give Alabama A&M the lead, and momentum never shifted. Nia Thompson stretched the lead to 2-0 a few minutes later, and then Gooden followed with her second goal of the day.
