QUINCY, Ill. - Scott Smith scored two goals in the second half Sunday as Quincy University posted a 2-0 win over Northern Kentucky University in the first round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.
Smith tallied his first goal at the 57:59 mark by tapping the ball into the right corner of the net. He sealed the win for Quincy at the 65:50 mark when his 10-yard shot found the back of the net in the left corner.
Quincy (10-5-4) held a 7-3 edge in shots attempts, including a 4-1 advantage in the second half. The fourth-seeded Hawks also did not allow a shot on goal the entire match and defeated NKU for the second time this season.
