WARRENSBURG, Mo. – Two Central Missouri goals in the first two minutes were enough to hand No. 23 Griffon soccer (6-1) its first loss of the season Friday.

The No. 4-ranked Jennies (7-0) put MWSU down 1-0 just 20 seconds into the contest and added what would be their last goal of the game in the second minute. From that point on the Griffons controlled the pace, taking a 10-7 shot advantage to halftime. Missouri Western again forced control of the match early in the second half before eventually being out-shot 11-8 over the final 45 minutes. Missouri Western’s 18 shots were the most allowed by UCM this season.

Missouri Western became only the second team this season to hold Central Missouri to two goals, but also became the seventh to be shutout by the Jennies. Sarah Lyle finished the game with nine saves in goal.
