Griffons and Lopers battle to 1-1 tie

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A hard-fought game saw the Griffons battle the Lopers of Nebraska-Kearney to a 1-1 tie Friday night at Spratt Memorial Stadium. 

The first half saw the Griffons dominate the game in every statistic besides goals. Most of the first half was played in the Loper half, with the Griffons outshooting UNK 7-2 in total shots and 5-1 in shots on goal.

The second half saw both offenses find the net. The Lopers (0-7-2) opened the scoring in the 48th minute. Sophomore Keeley Kroonenberg saved a long shot, but that save deflected back into play, allowing for the Lopers to jump on the loose ball and slot it home. 

Sophomore Elisabeth Pujado leveled the game in the 58th minute, jumping on a shot that cannoned off the crossbar from senior Kaili Campbell. Pujado's team-leading fourth goal keeps the Griffons undefeated in conference play, as they improve their record to 3-3-3 (1-0-1 MIAA). 

NOTABLES
  • Pujado leads Griffon Soccer with four goals on the season. 
  • Kroonenberg brings her impressive save total up to 42 on the season.
  • Seven Griffons saw all 90 minutes.
  • The Griffon attack was bolstered by the return of forward Jaden Skinner, who returns to the team after not playing for five games.
  • MWSU outshot the Lopers 16-3 in total shots and 9-2 in total shots on goal. 

NEXT UP
The Griffons welcome undefeated Fort Hays State (6-0-3) to the Spratt on Sunday, Sept. 25. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
