By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information WILDER, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team shut down the Bellarmine offense during a 1-0 victory Sunday afternoon in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. Steven Beattie put the Norse (8-0, 3-0 GLVC) on the board in the 12th minute with his fifth goal of the season. After a crossing pass into the 18-yard-box, the Knight defense attempted to clear the ball out of the zone. The ball, however, landed near Beattie’s right foot, and he blasted a shot to the right post for the only score of the game. The goal was Beattie’s fourth goal of the weekend after recording a hat trick Friday night against Ashland. The NKU defense dominated and allowed just three shot attempts in the contest. Goalkeeper Michael Lavric made two saves to get the win in net. NKU attempted 27 shots on the Bellarmine net, with goalkeeper Justin Welply, last week’s GLVC player of the week, making 13 saves while allowing the game’s only goal. NKU, ranked No. 2 in the latest NCAA Division II national poll, will go west next weekend to face Missouri-Rolla (Friday) and Missouri-St. Louis (Sunday). |
