PODCAST: SEMO football talk & Maddy Cornell

Jillian Francois Hocker ~ Special to the Southeast Missourian

It's a big weekend for Southeast Missouri State sports, with the football team playing its home opener Saturday after the women's soccer team begins conference play at Houck Field on Friday.

Ahead of all that, we recorded Episode 19.

In the first segment (2:23), host and sports editor Josh Mlot (@semoballJosh) sits down with Southeast Missourian SEMO beat writer Trent Singer (@semoballTrent) to talk about what we've learned about Redhawks football through two weeks of the season, and what's ahead, including the weekend's home opener against regional rival Southern Illinois.

Segment No. 2 (39:55) features an interview with Southeast senior soccer player Maddy Cornell. The Redhawks co-leading goal scorer at the moment, Cornell traveled a long way to pull on a Redhawks uniform. She talks about life in the Land Down Under, why she left surfing and beaches to come to Cape Girardeau and the state of the team as it prepares for the most important games of the year.
