Elsa Johnson's brace keeps State perfect
Elsa Johnson scored in each half as Mississippi State defeated Alcorn State 2 to 0 and continued its unbeaten opening run. Johnson broke through in the 35th minute and scored again in the 68th. State produced 24 shots to Alcorn's four. The Bulldogs posted their third clean sheet in five matches.
Johnson supplied the finishes, but the clean sheet belongs in the story too. State produced far more shots without needing to open the match up at the other end. The coaching question is how to keep improving the quality of those chances. Creating 24 shots is useful; turning a bigger share of the best ones into goals is the next step.
