ROMEOVILLE, Ill. -- The Lady Miner soccer team has certainly shown that it can play on the level with teams in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. It just hasn't been able to squeeze out a victory since conference play started.

UMR dropped its fourth straight league game Sunday by a 2-1 score at Lewis, as the Flyers won the game on Courtney Kettel's penalty kick with just over 16 minutes to play.

After a scoreless first half, the Flyers grabbed the lead at the 52:55 mark on Amy Foran's unassisted goal.

UMR came back and tied the score a little more than 14 minutes later, as Brooke Ryan got to a loose ball at the top of the penalty area and blasted a shot past Andrea Iossi for her first goal of the year.

The Lady Miners outshot the Flyers by a 13-11 margin for the game, but it was Lewis that got the break to give it the lead. A foul by the Lady Miners in the box at 73:45 gave Lewis a penalty kick which Kettel converted to make it 2-1.

Kelsey Kurilla was credited with three saves in goal for UMR (3-5, 0-4 GLVC), which will return to action Friday when it hosts 12th-ranked Northern Kentucky at 5 p.m. at the UMR Soccer Field.
