After trailing by a goal at the break, the Northwest Missouri State soccer team rallied to capture a 2-1 victory over Missouri Southern Sunday afternoon in Maryville.

The win moves the Bearcats to 2-5-2 this season and 1-3 in the MIAA, while the Lions fall to 2-8 overall and 0-4 in the conference.

Anna Holden’s goal in the 50th minute was the tenth of her career, making her the 12th Bearcat to reach double-digits at Northwest.

The Bearcats controlled possession for much of the contest, limiting the Lions to seven shots and just three on frame.

Senior Anna Holden took two shots back to back in the 50th minute with the second finding the back of the net.
After an attempt from Ashley Cole was saved, Holden cleaned up the rebound when the keeper was not able to maintain possession.

Katelynn Lindsey scored on her only shot of the game, the senior’s first goal at Northwest.

Ashley Malloy made two saves to keep the Bearcats within striking distance.

Northwest will hit the road on Friday when they travel to play Emporia State under the lights. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. from Emporia, Kan.
