| By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information RENSSELAER, Ind. – A well-placed boot with 17 seconds remaining in the second half gave Saint Joseph’s a 1-0 victory over Northern Kentucky University in women’s soccer action. After the NKU defense was whistled for a foul deep in its own defensive end, the Pumas’ Aniela Pulice served a free kick into the penalty area, which was driven home by Rachel Cobean for her ninth goal of the season. NKU dominated play for most of the game, outshooting Saint Joseph’s by a 15-6 margin, including a 5-2 shots on goal differential. However, the Norse simply could not find the net as they dropped their school-record fourth consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference match. Alayna Fontaine took the loss for the Norse (9-4 overall, 5-4 GLVC) in net, making one save. NKU will return home for the final home games of the regular season next weekend. The Norse play host to Southern Indiana at 5 p.m. Friday before entertaining Kentucky Wesleyan for Senior Day at noon Sunday. |
