EMPORIA, Kan. – The Missouri Western soccer team salvaged a weekend split with a dramatic 1-0 win at Emporia State in double overtime Sunday. The Griffons scored their only goal in the 104th minute from Sydney Cluck as she found the net from 20 yards out.
After a disappointing loss at Washburn on Friday, Missouri Western dropped Emporia State to 7-5 overall and 3-3 in the MIAA. Both teams had 17 shots with four on goal for each. The difference was Sarah Lyle’s four saves. Sydney Andrews led the Griffons with six shots; Cluck and Bridget Blessie each had four, with Cassidy Chappell adding one shot.
Missouri Western is now 6-4-1 overall and 2-3-1 in MIAA play. The Griffons return home this weekend, hosting Nebraska-Kearney on Friday at 4 p.m. and Fort Hays State on Sunday at noon. It’s Pink Week for the team with Pink Week t-shirts and ribbons for sale both days at Craig Field at Spratt Memorial Stadium. Proceeds from the sales will benefit the MOSAIC Life Care Breast Cancer Center.
