@NKUNorseWSOC earns big 2-0 win over Oakland

Rochester, Mich. – The Northern Kentucky women's soccer team earned an important three points in the Horizon League standings on Wednesday night when they took down Oakland, 2-0.

"We can't be any prouder of our group," said head coach Bob Sheehan. "Tonight was an important road win over a very good Oakland team. We've continued to work so hard all season and tonight we put together a strong 90-minute performance.

"Everyone was invested. Mimi was strong in goal, our back line didn't give any space, our midfield competed for everything and our front line was dangerous. Congratulations to Lindsey Meyer on scoring her first college goal; she made her first goal a memorable one with the game-winner in a huge Horizon League match. Congratulations also to Shelby Wall with a fantastic assist to Ally Perkins. Ally worked so hard all game and it was great to see her score that important second goal."

NKU SCORING SUMMARY

BETWEEN THE POSTS

  • Stines faced four shots and had a pair of saves in a solo-shutout performance.

MATCH SUMMARY

  • Stines opened the game with two quick saves in the third and fifth minutes.
  • Both squads had trouble on offense for much of the first half. The only time the Norse had a solid opportunity in the beginning of the game was a corner kick in the 20th minute.
  • Right after an Ivins shot bounced off a post in the 32nd minute, Meyer took the rebound and headed the ball into the goal, giving NKU a 1-0 advantage.
  • The Norse offense picked up steam from there as more chances in the final third developed. Perkins had a shot blocked in the 38th minute.
  • After another blocked shot by Perkins in the 57th minute, the match moved to more of a defensive battle as 22 minutes went by without a shot attempt.
  • Wall passed the ball over to Patrick, who crossed the ball to Perkins in the 79th minute. Perkins then converted a shot into goal to seal the game for NKU.

NORSE NOTES

  • Meyer's goal comes after making several appearances in the starting lineup recently and is the first of her college career. She is the first Norse freshman this season to score since Kayla Wypasek did against Murray State.
  • Perkins' goal tonight is her third of the season and the seventh of her career.
  • NKU is now 5-3 this season when playing on the road.
  • This is the best performance for the Norse back line this season asStines faced just two shots on goal in the shutout victory.

UP NEXT

  • The Norse return home for a senior day matchup with Green Bay at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. The match will be broadcasted on ESPN+.
