The Northwest Missouri State soccer team scored two goals in the final four minutes of competition to defeat Nebraska Kearney in stunning fashion, 2-1.

The Bearcats improve to 3-7-3 this season and 2-5-1 in the MIAA, while the Lopers drop to 4-7-3 overall and 3-4-1 in the conference.

Katelynn Lindsey scored on both of her shots on goal while anchoring a back line that conceded just one goal.

With the wind at her back, Lindsey stood over a free kick from 35 yards out in the 88th minute. Lindsey chose to put the ball on frame and over the outreached arms of the keeper, leveling the score at one.

Less than two minutes into the overtime period, the Bearcats again drew a foul in their offensive third. Lindsey stepped up to take the free kick, this time from near the left sideline, 30 yards away from the goal. Lindsey sent the ball to the far post. The wind carried it over a scrum of players in the box and over the head of the keeper, giving the Bearcats a stunning 2-1 victory.

Northwest Missouri State will return to the road on Friday when they head to St. Charles, Mo. for a 5 p.m. meeting with the Lindenwood Lions.
