| By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information MISSION, Kan. – The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team gained two positions in this week’s NCAA Division II national poll, released by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. NKU, 9-0 overall and 5-0 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, is No. 7 in the national poll after picking up a 3-2 come-from-behind win at Missouri-Rolla and a 3-0 victory at Missouri-St. Louis. The Norse received outstanding play from freshman Megan Smith, who scored NKU’s first goal against Missouri-Rolla to spark the second-half comeback and managed the game-winning tally against Missouri-St. Louis. NKU will face No.16 Quincy at noon Sunday in a GLVC showdown. Last season, Quincy blanked NKU, 3-0, en route to a GLVC championship. NKU begins the weekend at 5 p.m. Friday when Southern Illinois at Edwardsville visits Wilder for a GLVC contest. |
