WILDER, Ky. - Indianapolis struck for a pair of second-half goals to upset the 11th-ranked Northern Kentucky University women's soccer team, 2-1, Friday night at the Town & Country Sports Complex.

Amanda Reese gave Indianapolis a 1-0 lead 10 minutes into the second half by finding the back of the net off an assist from Sarah Jones. The Greyhounds extended their lead to 2-0 at the 66:12 mark when Ashley Seehase sent a shot over NKU goalie Jenna Kramer off an assist from Caryn Nieman.

NKU battled back and cut the lead to 2-1 at the 84:01 mark when Lauren Franzen drilled a shot past Indianapolis goalie Abby Tracy. Cara Alldred started the play with a direct kick from midfield, which was passed by Jeanna Goettelman to Franzen, who shot and scored from about 15 yards out.

With nine seconds remaining and the clock stopped due to a yellow card on Indianapolis' Natalie Franklin, NKU had a final chance but the Norse's free kick from 40 yards out was batted away by Tracy and time expired.

It marked the first time in history Indianapolis pulled off a win over NKU in women's soccer. The Greyhounds were 0-11-1 against the Norse prior to Friday.

The only tie in the series came in 1998, when the two teams battled to a 1-1 draw at the Town & Country Sports Complex.

NKU is now 48-2-4 against GLVC opponents at the Town & Country Sports Complex since moving its home games to the Wilder facility in 1998. The Norse’s only other loss to a GLVC team at the Town & Country Sports Complex came on Oct. 3, 1998, when Southern Illinois at Edwardsville posted a 1-0 victory over NKU.

NKU will play host to Saint Joseph's at 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
