SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – For the second-straight week, the Missouri Western women’s soccer team (2-2) rebounded from a Friday loss with a Sunday win. This week it was a 2-1 victory at Sioux Falls (1-3).

Newcomer Lillian Davis scored her first goal as a Griffon just 38 seconds into Sunday’s game to give Missouri Western a 1-0 lead. Davis’ first career goal came from an assist by Megan Maenner. Madison Utley gave MWSU a 2-0 lead in the 57th minute with an unassisted goal. Less than two minutes later Sioux Falls’ McKayla Philippi snuck a header past Anna Meyer off a corner kick that pulled the Cougars within one. Fifteen second half shots by Missouri Western limited Sioux Falls to just five opportunities and helped the Griffons escape with the win. With Davis and Utley scoring, Sunday, four different Griffons have provided the team’s four goals this season.
