The Missouri Western women’s soccer team won its fourth consecutive game Sunday afternoon as they beat Emporia State 1-0 inside Spratt Stadium.  The four straight wins is the longest in school history as they improve to 7-4-1 and 4-3-1 in the MIAA.

In the first half, the Griffons created three shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net. The Griffons defense held strong again allowing the Hornets only one shot.

Missouri Western was able to strike early in the second half and create multiple opportunities. Missouri Western scored in the 48th minute when Tara Russell found the back of the net from 10 yards out. The assist came from Sydney Cluck.

Sarah Lyle recorded two saves on the night and now has seven shut outs this season. It’s her seventh shutout of the season, the most for any Griffon goalkeeper in a single season.

MWSU accumulated 18 shots with seven of those on goal and only allowed three total shots for Emporia State.

Missouri Western is back in action Friday as they travel to Nebraska-Kearney at 7:00 p.m.
