WILDER, Ky. – In a battle for the top spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, it was Becky Fleming who delivered the knockout punch in the 61st minute for Quincy (10-2-1, 7-1-0 GLVC) as the Lady Hawks defeated NKU by a score of 1-0.

With the scoring at a virtual standstill, Liz Werkmeister sent a corner kick into the box and Fleming settled the ball and placed it just out of the reach of Norse goalie Jenna Kramer (6-2-0). The goal was the eighth of the season for Fleming.

NKU managed to outshoot the Hawks by a total of 13-10 but could not find the back of the net. Quincy’s Toni Eye recorded her sixth shutout of the season to improve to 8-1-1.

With the loss, NKU (9-2-0, 5-2-0 GLVC) drops to fourth place in the conference standings.

NKU will be back in action next week as it travels to Indianapolis (Oct. 5) and St. Joseph’s (Oct. 7).
