The Missouri Western women’s soccer team dropped its first home game of the season to Central Oklahoma Friday, 1-0. The goal was allowed in the 89th minute to propel the Bronchos past the Griffons.

The first half was a defensive struggle with both teams creating limited opportunities. The Bronchos had six shots on goal with the Griffons providing four chances themselves. Sarah Lyle recorded four saves in the half as well.

MWSU in the second half created two corner kicks early but couldn’t capitalize on the chance to put one in the net. The attack for both teams eventually picked up to create some shots on goal. In the 89th minute, the Bronchos scored off a corner kick that was sent in by Emily Precure and deflected to the back of the net by Reagan Ballard.

Missouri Western will be back in action on Sunday against Northeastern State University. The game is set to start at noon.
