SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – An Augustana (1-1-1) goal in the 16th minute Friday night was the difference in an otherwise even game as the Missouri Western soccer team (1-2) lost 1-0 to the Vikings.

Julie Plonsky snuck a shot by Anna Mayer with an assist from Peyton Stenzel that gave the home team a 1-0 win over Missouri Western. It was the only of nine Augustana shots on goal to get past the Griffons’ freshman goalkeeper. The Vikings’ nine shots on goal to the Griffons’ three was the biggest discrepancy on the stat sheet. Missouri Western had 10 shots to Augustana’s 14. Eleven of Augie’s shots came after halftime to make the final tally look a little different.

Lillian Davis led Missouri Western with four shots. Mayer ended with a season-high eight saves. It was the first time this season the freshman played all 90 minutes.

The Griffons stay in Sioux Falls for the weekend, playing at the University of Sioux Falls (1-2), Sunday at 1 p.m.
