Northern Kentucky secures home #HLWSOC Quarterfinal match, Molner breaks single-season records in win over Raiders

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Entering Saturday's season finale with Wright State, Northern Kentucky University Norse women's soccer needed a win to secure a home field advantage in their first Horizon League Championship match. The Norse answered the call, as they got on the board early thanks to an Erykah Cornett goal, and a pair of second-half goals from Megan Molner sealed the deal. 

In the match, Megan Molner surpassed Shawna Zaken's 2019 single-season marks of 13 goals and 29 points, as her 15 goals and 34 total points this season now stand as the new single-season record in NKU's NCAA Division I history.
