By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information WILDER, Ky. – His name is Jason Larkin, and he wins games. His goal in the 28th minute against Quincy propelled the Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team to a 1-0 victory in Great Lakes Conference play Sunday. The goal was set up with a pass from Tony Ray in to Larkin 20 yards out from goal. Larkin then sent the ball across to Tony Capurro, who worked a brilliant give-and-go to open up space one-on-one against the keeper. Larkin cashed in, flicking the ball to the left post, for the game’s only marker. It was Larkin’s second goal of the season, both of which have been game-winning tallies. NKU (12-0, 7-0 GLVC) had another outstanding defensive performance, allowing Quincy only five shots, with just one of those on goal. Andy Ortman made the lone save for his 15th career shutout. The Norse were able to spread the offensive chances around, as well, as they got 17 shots from 10 different players. Northern Kentucky, ranked No. 2 in the latest NCAA Division II national poll, will hit the road this weekend, taking on No. 24 Indianapolis on Friday before traveling to Saint Joseph’s to wrap up a GLVC weekend on Sunday. |
