HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. –
Amanda Mason scored two goals in Friday's Great Lakes Valley Conference contest to help the Northern Kentucky University women's soccer team defeat the University of Illinois-Springfield, 3-0.
The Norse struck early as Mason scored her sixth goal of the season in the sixth minute of play from a
Danielle Hogue cross. Nearly an hour later, Mason scored again off a
Laura Painter assist.
Megan Frye rounded out the scoring with a goal of her own at the 64:24 mark, assisted by
Taylor Jennings.
The Norse dominated field possession for the majority of the match, as they outshot Illinois-Springfield 18-5. The Prairie Stars played solid defense for most of the match but were unable to convert an offensive counter attack into a scoring opportunity.

The Norse improved to 7-1-1 overall on the season, 6-1-0 in the GLVC. Illinois-Springfield dropped to 1-8 overall, 1-7 in the GLVC. The win extends NKU's home unbeaten streak to 25 games.
