The Northwest Missouri State women’s soccer team was beat 1-0 in overtime by Lindenwood Friday, as both teams opened up MIAA play.

For the second time in as many games the Bearcats fell to an opponent in overtime. It was also the team’s third game this season decided by a goal.

Northwest was able to outshoot Lindenwood 27-12 during the match, but could not find the back of the goal as the crowd saw two balls hit off the crossbar.

Jordan Albright was able to get a shot off with seconds to go in regulation that just missed high sending the game into overtime.

Kat Roe was able to score the game ender with :27 left in overtime for the Lions giving them the 1-0 victory.

The Bearcats fall to 1-4 on the season and will meet up with rival Missouri Western (2-3) Tuesday to continue MIAA play. Kickoff in St. Joseph is scheduled for 7 p.m.
