I'm always happy that we're creating offense because we were struggling with that earlier on in the season, but I think we were playing good, smart soccer,” Nelson said. “We have a really short bench, so a lot of programs are using their subs, whereas we're counting on 13 to 14 players to play 75 to 90 minutes for us. Even with that, I feel like we always have a chance, even down the stretch. I feel like we're doing a very good job of controlling everything we can.”SEMO, now 1-4-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference, is tied in the standings with SIUE. The Redhawks will be in a “win and you’re in” situation when they take on UT Martin in their final game of the regular season because they own the head-to-head over SIUE.Nelson said she is aware of the “must win” pressure but her team will not change how they play.“We just need to keep doing what we’re doing. We’re playing a very high level of soccer and we’re not gonna change for any opponent or situation,” Nelson said.It was senior day for the Redhawks as they had to say goodbye to five players who Nelson said have meant a lot to the SEMO Women’s Soccer program.“They’ve shown a tremendous amount of character. They're extremely caring, super bright players, and they are grounded in their beliefs. Because of them, we’ve weathered a really difficult storm in this rebuilding and injury-filled season,” Nelson said.The Redhawks will square off with UT Martin on Sunday, kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Skyhawk Soccer Field.</div></body>
