Bearcat soccer comes up short at Lindenwood 3-2

Northwest2013riggertThe Northwest Missouri State soccer team came up a goal short Friday at Lindenwood, losing 3-2.

The match was played as a regional matchup and will not count against MIAA standings.  With the loss, Northwest falls to 3-8-3 this season, while the Lady Lions improve to 4-7-4.

Danielle Wolfe scored her first goal of the season late in the match to narrow the deficit to one. The Olathe, Kan. native found herself behind the defense outside the left portion of the box in the 88th minute. As she dribbled into the 18-yard box, the keeper came out to make a stop, but the sophomore midfielder was able to chip past her and finish into an empty net.

Jill Kieffer took the lone Bearcat shot in the first half after receiving a deflection at the top of the box. Kieffer pulled the trigger, but it was right at the Lindenwood goalie.

Senior Elizabeth Lee made 12 saves in the match, the most by a Bearcat this season.

Northwest Missouri State will travel to Warrensburg, Mo. on Sunday, Oct. 25 for a meeting with the Central Missouri Jennies. The MIAA match is scheduled to start at 1 p.m.
