EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Jeanna Goettelman hooked in a corner kick in the second half Friday night to lift Northern Kentucky University to a 1-0 win over Southern Indiana. Goettelman's perfectly-placed kick, taken from the left corner, sailed past Southern Indiana goalie Jami Martin into the far corner of the net at the 52:28 mark. It was the third goal of the season for Goettelman. NKU goalie Kelly Bare recorded the shutout and finished with six saves as the Norse defeated Southern Indiana for the seventh consecutive time. NKU now leads the all-time series with Southern Indiana by a 9-3 margin. NKU - which extended its winning streak to three - improved to 11-4 overall, 8-4 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The victory also kept NKU in the running to possibly host a first-round game in the upcoming GLVC Tournament, which begins Oct. 22 at campus sites. The top four teams in the GLVC standings will earn first-round home games. NKU is currently tied for fifth place with Indianapolis, but the Greyhounds own a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Norse. Quincy has wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the GLVC with an 11-2 record. Bellarmine is currently in second place, followed by Wisconsin-Parkside and Southern Illinois at Edwardsville. NKU owns head-to-head tiebreakers with both SIUE and Bellarmine. NKU plays at Kentucky Wesleyan at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in its final regular-season GLVC game. The Norse will close out their home season Wednesday night against Findlay at the Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder, Ky. |
