Women's
Soccer Falls in USC Finale
Fargo,
ND - North Dakota State's relentless offensive attack
finally cracked the scoreboard in the 78th minute to give the
Bison a 1-0 United Soccer Conference match win over IPFW on Sunday.
Freshman midfielder
Lorraine Thompson was well inside the Mastodons box and chipped
a shot low to the left hand corner for the game winner. It was
Thompson's fifth goal of the season.
The loss was
the second-in-a-row for IPFW in USC play. IPFW's conference record
is now 1-2 which will give them the #3 seed in the West for the
upcoming USC tournament.
Senior goal
keeper Shannon Lynn did everything she could to keep IPFW in the
match. She stopped 12 Bison shots on goal.
With the win,
the Bison secure the top Western seed in the conference tournament.
South Dakota
State will get the #2 seed, while Utah Valley State will be seeded
fourth.
The Mastodons
have three matches remaining in the regular season. The 'Dons
will travel to Wright State and Cleveland State next Friday and
Sunday and host future Mid-Con opponent Southern Utah on Saturday,
October 28.
