By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information ASHLAND, Ohio – The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team posted a 3-0 win at Ashland in non-conference play Wednesday night. It took just more than eight minutes for the Norse (7-2) to take control of the game as Kendall Day collected a takeaway from the Eagles’ (5-6) defense and netted a shot from 10 yards out for her fourth goal of the season. Jessica Page tacked on the insurance goal in the 32nd minute, putting home a loose ball from five yards out for a 2-0 halftime advantage. Less than 90 seconds into the second half, Lauren Franzen closed out the scoring when she took a pass from Day and used some fancy footwork to elude the Eagle defense and net her third marker of the season. Goalkeeper Angela Healy made four saves for the Norse, allowing freshman Stephanie Glass to cover the final six minutes of the contest in the team shutout. Krista Herbst also made four saves in the losing effort for the Eagles. NKU returns to Great Lakes Valley Conference action on Sunday, when the Norse play host to Saint Joseph’s. Kickoff is scheduled for noon at the Town & Country Sports Complex in Wilder, Ky. |
