ST. JOSEPH – Undefeated Griffon soccer hits the road for the first time in 2017 with a trip to South Dakota to take on NSIC foes Northern State and Sioux Falls.
 
Missouri Western opened the season 2-0 with a record breaking 8-1 win over Ouachita Baptist and a 3-0 victory over Harding. Cassidy Menke was named MIAA Women's Soccer Offensive Athlete of the Week after scoring four goals and totaling nine points last week. The Griffons' impressive week one campaign landed them at No. 5 in the first United Soccer Coaches Central Region poll.
 
Northern State is 1-0 after a 4-0 win over Black Hills State last weekend. Four different players scored for Northern State as they out-shot Black Hills State 30-10.
 
Sioux Falls is 1-1 after a 2-1 loss to Northwest Missouri and a 2-1 win over Colorado Christian last week. Sioux Falls took a 1-0 lead late into the second half against the Bearcats, but conceded two goals in one minute late in the contest to fall to 1-1.
