WILDER, Ky. - Jayme Light provided the scoring early in the game for Northern Kentucky University, and the Norse survived a barrage of shots by Drury in the second half to hold on for a 1-0 victory Sunday afternoon at the Town & Country Sports Complex. NKU wasted no time in scoring the only goal of the contest when Light lobbed a shot from 22 yards that eluded Drury goalie Barri Bulla and just made its way under the crossbar for a 1-0 lead at the 7:49 mark. Ashley Warndorf and Cara Alldred were credited with assists on the play. It was the ninth goal of the season for Light, a junior and a graduate of Colerain High School. In the second half, Drury constantly attacked the NKU defense and held a 12-2 advantage in shots during the final 45 minutes. Several Drury shots were high or wide, and Norse goalie Kelly Bare stopped two shots in the second half. For the game, Bare had five saves. Drury finished with an 18-8 edge in shots, and both teams had three corner kicks. NKU improved to 10-4 overall, 7-4 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Drury is 6-6-3 overall, 4-5-2 in the GLVC. The Norse must win their final two GLVC games next weekend at Southern Indiana and Kentucky Wesleyan to host a first-round contest in the GLVC Tournament on Oct. 22. NKU is the defending GLVC Tournament champion. |
