@NKUNorseWSOC shuts out Lipscomb 2-0 on Thursday night

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky University women's soccer team earned a 2-0 shutout victory over Lipscomb on Thursday night. The Norse move to 4-2, while the Bisons fall to 3-2-2.
 
"Lipscomb has an excellent program, and we are thrilled to earn a shutout victory," said NKU head coach Bob Sheehan. "Payton (Naylor) to Sam (Duwel) to Erin (Sutton) was a classic goal. Emily (Soltes) was assertive on the dribble and played a great ball to Shawna (Zaken), who is an outstanding finisher. Our defense was again fantastic tonight. Our senior class has set the tone in terms of leadership and commitment, and we couldn't be any more pleased with our group."
 
 
NKU SCORING SUMMARY
  • The Norse took a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute. Naylor crossed the ball from the left side near the end line to Duwel, and she played the ball to Sutton. Sutton tapped the ball in from close range to put NKU ahead.
  • NKU doubled its lead in the 69th minute. Duwel played a ball up the field to Soltes, who found Zaken. She fired a shot into the lower left corner of the net to give the Norse a 2-0 advantage.
 
 
BETWEEN THE POSTS
  • Emily Lohmann played the full 90 minutes in net for the Norse, and she recorded three saves. The NKU defensive back line was stout throughout the night, and none of Lipscomb's shots seriously threatened Lohmann.

  • Duwel curved her corner kick on frame in the 86th minute, but the Bisons' goalkeeper punched the attempt away from the net.
