Southern soccer loses to Northwest Missouri

(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

The Missouri Southern Lions (3-6-1, 1-5-0 MIAA) fell 2-1 to visiting Northwest Missouri State (5-3-1, 2-2-1 MIAA) Sunday afternoon at Hal Bodon Field.

Northwest Missouri struck first as Ashley Cole scored her second and thrid goals of the season just under 2 minutes apart as the Bearcats took an early 2-0 lead in the 18th minute. The Lions would try and claw back into the match and just after halftime freshman Jacqueline Sampson would head home a corner kick taken by juniorKimmy Hulse off an assist from sophomore Carly Cecil.

The Lions defense led by senior goalie Beth Hammons held Northwest to just three shots on goal on 12 total shots. Hammons recorded the only save for the Lions before going out in the 84th minute after a collision with a Northwest Missouri player. Freshman Bryar Wiley would finish the game in the net for Southern.

The Lions offense got seven shots on goal on the afternoon and was led by freshman Taylor Beck with two.

Southern will be back in action Friday October 10th as they travel to Warrensburg to take on the 13th ranked Central Missouri Jennies.
