Missouri Western soccer lost in double overtime to Nebraska-Kearney Saturday afternoon 2-1.

The Griffons fell behind in the first half after Sara Chapman knocked a header in from 5-yards out in the 12th minute.

MWSU came back in the second period, however. AJ Powers received a pass from K.C. Ramsell and Powers kicked the ball into the net in the 61st minute.

Both teams struggled to take control after that as the game went into overtime. It was the Griffons third straight overtime game, after a win at Emporia State and a tie against Fort Hays State.

Saturday’s game was not as successful, though. In the second overtime period, Nebraska-Kearney’s Becka Talcott rebounded a shot attempt and put the ball into the goal for the 2-1 victory.

The Griffons fall to 4-8-1 and 2-6-1 in the conference.

Up Next: Missouri Western returns home to play Central Missouri at 7 p.m. Friday night.
