The Missouri Western soccer team had their offensive struggles continue Sunday as they fell to Emporia State 1-0 at Spratt Stadium.

The Hornets broke a scoreless game early on in the 11th minute. Bridget Wages moved across the goal line and positioned herself for an unassisted goal in the right corner of the net. It was her first goal of the season.

That’s how the game would end as neither team scored in the second half.

The Griffons had 11 total shots against Emporia’s 19. Goalkeeper Sarah Lyle finished with eight saves compared to Hornets’ keeper Melaine Nuessen who had three.

Missouri Western is 2-9-1 and 0-5 in the MIAA. They play again Wednesday night against Washburn in their make-up game from Friday night.
