By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information INDIANAPOLIS – The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team faced a tough test on the road Friday and dropped a 5-1 decision to Indianapolis in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. Caryn Neiman opened the scoring in the 14th minute for the Greyhounds on a through ball from Amanda Reese, pushing her shot just past NKU goalkeeper Jenna Kramer for the early lead. Reese factored into the next goal with an assist to Ashley Seehase, who netted her ninth of the year in the 18th minute. Greyhound defender Kate Donnelly pushed the ball up the field to Reese, who found Seehase streaking up the left side. Seehase’s initial shot was blocked, but Reese was there to pick up the rebound and feed Seehase once again for the 2-0 advantage. Indianapolis took a 3-0 lead after Katie Krimmer picked up her own rebound off Kramer and found the twine in the 22nd minute. The three-goal advantage held through halftime. Alayna Fontaine took the net for the Norse in the second half, but little could be done to stop the Greyhound offense, as Neiman scored her second of the day in the 61st minute on a throw-in play. NKU got one back in the 65th after Kendall Day scored her fourth of the season. Lauren Franzen’s initial shot glanced off the left post, and Day was right there to clean up the rebound to cut the deficit to three. Indianapolis got it back in the 83rd, however, after Monique Gamble’s through ball found Jenny Dimitroff for her second of the season and the 5-1 final score. The five goals allowed equal an all-time high for the Northern Kentucky women. The last time the Norse allowed five goals was Aug. 27, 2000, in a 5-3 defeat at Missouri-Rolla. Jenna Kramer took the loss for the Norse (9-3 overall, 5-3 GLVC), making three saves. Fontaine had two saves in relief. NKU will stay on the road and face Saint Joseph’s on Sunday. |
