AUBURN, Ala. | Alabama State couldn't quite keep up with a high-powered Auburn attack as the Lady Hornets fell, 7-0, at the Auburn Soccer Complex on Sunday.

The Tigers began the second half by scoring in the 59^th minute when Jessie Gerow scored on a breakaway, giving her team a five-goal cushion. Auburn took an insurmountable 6-0 lead in the 65th minute when the Tigers' Dani Solaru found the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Rocio Sanders sealed the game off a penalty kick in the 70^th minute, making her the sixth different goal-scorer on the night.
 
Alabama State (0-6-0) produced one shot in the contest in the 32^nd minute when Fabienne Balvers found herself in the middle of the 18-yard box with one defender to beat. Her shot was on target but saved by goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau.
