The Missouri Southern Lions dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to Northeastern State Sunday afternoon at DeLoach Field.
Senior goalkeeper Shawnee Phillips recorded six saves, four in the second half, on the day for the Lions (2-13-1, 0-8-1 MIAA) as Northeastern State (13-3-0, 7-2-0 MIAA) came away with the 1-0 win in MIAA play. Northeastern State out shot Southern 21-9 on the day, including a 7-1 advantage in shots on goal.
The lone goal of the game came in the 66th minute as NSU's Julia Mathis put a rebound shot off a free kick past Phillips. Southern had four chances to tie it up in the remaining minutes as junior Kelly Sutton's shot in the 70th minute from the far right wing sailed wide left, junior Hannah Cook's shot from the top of the box in the 76th minute went high and again in the 80th minute from the top of the box was blocked, and sophomore Taylor Beck's shot in the 80th minute from the close right wing sailed over the crossbar.
The Lions' lone shot on goal in the first half was taken by Sutton in the 35th minute from the left wing was saved by the RiverHawks goalie. Cook led the way for Southern with four shots, Sutton added three, Beck and junior Carly Cecil each had one shot.
The Lions will be back in action Thursday as they travel to Bolivar, Missouri to take on the Southwest Baptist Bearcats with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m.
