Lopers Pitch Fourth Shutout to Tie MIAA Newcomer

Kearney, Neb. – The Nebraska-Kearney women's soccer team played its third scoreless tie of the 2019 season when it battled the Newman Jets Friday night in Wichita.

The Lopers are now 1-5-3 (0-1-1) while NU, an MIAA newcomer, drops to 5-1-3 (1-0-1).

While there was no goals scored over the 110 minutes the two squads combined for 37 shots and six corners. Senior keeper Allie Prososki (Kearney Catholic), aided by her defensive teammates, managed her fourth shutout of the fall by recording nine saves with NU's Jackie Lari stopping the same amount of shots. As a freshman Prososki set the school record for shutouts with six.

Omaha senior Megan Merkel spearheaded the UNK attack with five shots, four being on goal, with Kansas freshman Ariella Mesa (three) and Norfolk senior Maddie Love (two) combining for five more shots. In the second OT UNK had a corner in the 106th minute with Lari stopping Merkel's last shot attempt four minutes earlier.

NU, which came into tonight with 12 goals, was led by senior Kennedy Weaver (six shots; three on goal) and senior Katie Hartman (four shots; two on goal). Prososki made saves in the 108th and 109th minutes to preserve the tie.

To start the season UNK had scoreless draws against Minnesota State-Moorhead and Wayne State whle also besting Western Colorado by a 1-0 count. 

UNK heads to nationally-ranked Central Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon. The Bronchos (6-1-2, 1-1-0) were upset by Fort Hays State, 2-1, tonight.
