Green Bay Falls to Northern Kentucky 3-1

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Green Bay women's soccer team dropped its contest to the Northern Kentucky Norse Sunday afternoon. NKU scored two goals early in the second half to pull away.

Green Bay fell to 2-4-3 overall and 0-1-1 in HL play, while NKU improved to 4-6-0 overall and 1-1-0 in conference action.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Norse tallied a few shots in the opening minutes of the first half. Meghan Carl forced a save by GB goalkeeper Mallorie Benhart in the 7th minute. Green Bay had a tough time finding rhythm offensively but eventually had an opportunity in the 17th minute on a shot by Laney Stark. Stark missed just over the crossbar, and it remained tied 0-0. NKU continued to converge on the Phoenix defense, and Meghan Belrose converted the first score of the contest in the 27th minute on an assist by Caitlin Evans and Emilie Doersching. Allison Steeno nearly had an answer minutes later, but NKU goalkeeper Tristen Cross made a diving save. Only one shot commenced in the final nine minutes, and the Green and White went into halftime with a 0-1 deficit.

NKU got an early jump out of the break, doubling the lead to 2-0 in the 52nd minute on a score by Lydia Self. It didn't take long for the Norse to add on, as Kaya Vogt found Kylie Anderson to make it 3-0 NKU in the 56th minute. GB managed just two shots in the second frame, including a late goal by Ryann Hafenbrak, but it wasn't enough in the 1-3 loss.

GAME NOTES
  • NKU outshot GB 18-6 overall and 9-3 on goal.
  • The Norse had eight corner kicks to Green Bay's two.
  • Laney Stark led the Phoenix with two shots (one on goal).
