Kearney, Neb. – Minnesota State-Moorhead defender Cody Krieg made a free kick from 35 yards out with 10 minutes left to lift the Dragons to a 3-2 win over the Nebraska-Kearney women's soccer team Friday afternoon in Aberdeen, S.D.

The Dragons, from the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, improve to 2-1 while UNK (1-2) drops its first-ever neutral site game.

Moorhead would lead 2-1 by the intermission thanks to goals at the 27 and 36 minute marks. UNK tied things up when Omaha freshman Maggie McClure scored on unassisted goal at 57:33.

Her first collegiate goal came just seconds after Moorhead committed a foul.
