Norse end season with Horizon League Quarterfinal loss to IU Indy

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Northern Kentucky University Norse women's soccer's postseason run ended short for a second-straight season on Saturday, as the Norse fell to IU Indy 2-1 in the Horizon League Championship Quarterfinal. Northern Kentucky fell behind in the first half on a 38th-minute goal, and gave up a goal just 37 second into the second half to go behind 2-0. The Norse showed resilience in the second half, getting one back in the 66th as Megan Molner scored her 16th goal of the season, but NKU couldn't convert late opportunities as the Norse dropped the match to dash their championship dreams.
