Emporia, Kan. -- Abby Widrig scored both goals to give Missouri Western a much-needed win against conference foe Emporia State.

Widrig's goal, a dramatic 40-yard bomb, put her in the record books for the Griffons, as it was her 11^th goal, tying Audrey Henderson for most career goals at Missouri Western.

The Griffons scored in the 11^th minute when Widrig received a pass from fellow senior Ashlyn Castillo, who then kicked it from 8-yards out into the net to give Missouri Western the 1-0 lead.

Emporia notched the game up at one when Tommi Bouknight put in a header in the 37^th minute.

As both teams closed out the second half scoreless, the Griffons remained calm and took the win 30 seconds into the extra frame. Widrig didn't even give the Hornets a chance, knocking the goal in from 40-yards out, giving the Griffons the dramatic victory, improving to 4-7 and 2-5 in the MIAA. Emporia falls to 3-8-1 and 0-6-1 in conference play.
