The Northwest Missouri State soccer team played to a 1-1 draw against Minnesota-Crookston on Friday afternoon in Crookston, Minn.

The Bearcats are now 1-0-2 on the season, while the Golden Eagles improve to 0-1-1.

Elizabeth Lee scored the game-tying goal early in the second half.

Ashley Malloy, last week’s MIAA Goalkeeper of the Week, made a season-high 10 saves in the contest. This was her third double-digit save performance in her career at Northwest.

Northwest took seven shots in the contest while the Golden Eagles attempted 15.

The Bearcats played Friday’s match without head coach Tracy Hoza, who was not available due to a family emergency. The entire Northwest family wishes to express their deepest condolences to coach Hoza on the loss of her mother.
