ATHENS, W. Va. - The first road trip of the season proved to be a smashing success for the Northern Kentucky University women's soccer team. NKU concluded its two-game trip to West Virginia by knocking off Davis & Elkins, 3-0, Sunday afternoon. The Norse - who also posted a 1-0 win over Concord (W. Va.) on Friday - improved to 2-0. Both victories came against regional opponents from the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. NKU, ranked No. 11 nationally in the preseason NCAA Division II poll, is favored to win the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship. Jayme Light began the scoring for NKU by drilling a shot from 20 yards into the back of the net midway through the first half. The Norse upped the lead to 2-0 at the 53:40 mark when freshman Amy Martini notched her first career goal by finishing off a corner kick from Jeanna Goettelman. Ashley Warndorf - who tied a school record last season with four goals against Concord - capped the NKU scoring at the 65:36 mark by taking a Lauren Franzen cross from the left side of the box and finishing from 10 yards out. Warndorf, who was granted a medical redshirt after suffering a season-ending injury in 2005, is a freshman and a graduate of Oak Hills High School. Freshman goalie Jenna Kramer recorded her second straight shutout and had four saves. Kramer is a graduate of Seton High School in Cincinnati. NKU will begin GLVC play Friday at 7:30 p.m. with a home game against Indianapolis at the Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder, Ky. |
