By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information WILDER, Ky. – A penalty kick from Braden Bishop was all the Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team needed to defeat Truman State, 1-0, Sunday afternoon in the John Toebben Classic presented by National City. Truman State’s Ben Green was whistled for a shove in the back against Steven Beattie while in the 18-yard box in the 84th minute. After Green was booked for a yellow card, Bishop lined up and sent his penalty kick low to the right side past the Bulldogs’ Kyle Talbot for his third goal of the year. On the same play, Truman State’s Josh Weir was assessed a red card and ejected from the match, forcing the Bulldogs to play the final six minutes of the contest one man short. The mismatch was too much for Truman State to overcome as the Norse took the result. NKU goalkeeper Andy Ortman earned his 13th career shutout in
net, making two saves in the victory. |
