EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Chris Thompson snapped a scoreless tie in the 63rd minute with his sixth goal of the season as Northern Kentucky University edged Southern Indiana, 1-0, Friday night. NKU and Southern Indiana each squandered scoring opportunities earlier in the game by failing to convert penalty kicks, but Thompson tallied at the 62:03 mark off an assist from Dan Impellizzeri. Norse goalie Andy Ortman made the goal stand by recording his eighth shutout of the season with five saves. NKU, ranked No. 16 nationally in the NCAA Division II poll, improved to 11-2-2 overall, 8-2-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Norse also wrapped up a first-round home game in the GLVC Tournament, which begins Oct. 22 at campus sites. NKU will play at Kentucky Wesleyan at 1 p.m. Sunday. The Norse can clinch the No. 2 seed in the GLVC Tournament with a victory against Kentucky Wesleyan. Southern Illinois at Edwardsville has already wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the GLVC Tournament. |
