Offense breaks out as Women’s Soccer posts fifth straight shutout for second straight win

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky women's soccer program continued its incredible stretch of play as the Norse knocked off Morehead State by a 3-0 margin in a non-conference match at NKU Soccer Stadium on a perfect Sunday afternoon.
 
With the offensive breakout, NKU tied its season-best mark for most goals in a match as the Norse scored early and often in their 3-0 defeat of the Eagles.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
- The Norse got on the board right away as a beautiful corner from Lilly Yordy was headed home by Jamie Lehker just four minutes into the match as the Norse jumped out to a 1-0 lead. It was the first goal of Lehker's career, one that has spanned five years and 48 matches. - Freshman Kylie Anderson has continued her strong start to the season as she netted her third goal of the young campaign. Anderson took advantage of a miscue by the Morehead State keeper off of a misplayed goal kick and buried her chance from over 30 yards away as NKU extended its lead to 2-0, 16 minutes into the match. - The Norse put the game away in the 66th-minute as Erykah Cornett converted a perfect header off a corner from Shay Shipley for the first goal of her collegiate career as NKU went ahead 3-0. - NKU combined for the team clean sheet in net as Mickayla Kowalski was perfect once again with four saves and no goals allowed over 70 minutes of action. Megan Gessner and Donna Bundy split the final 20 minutes between the two evenly as the Norse recorded their fifth straight shutout.
- Northern Kentucky has now not allowed a goal over its last 473 minutes and 28 sections of action, a streak that dates all the way back to August 20.
- NKU improved to 3-0-3 over its last six contests, the program's best unbeaten streak since 2021.
