Lady Miners suffer hard luck loss in Wisconsin
KENOSHA, Wis. -- For the third straight game, the UMR women's soccer team held down a top team from the Great Lakes Valley Conference, but couldn't generate enough offense to get a result.
Meredith Novak's goal with just under 20 minutes to play was enough to give Wisconsin-Parkside a 1-0 victory over the Lady Miners Friday, sending UMR to its third straight one-goal defeat in league play.
The Lady Miners had the only shot on goal in the first half and finished the game with five overall to the Rangers' nine. They were able to thwart most of UW-Parkside's offensive chances, forcing it into nine corner kicks and drawing it offsides six times.
However, Novak got free in front of the goal and took Kelly Teeters' pass for the game-winning goal at the 70:44 mark. It was the second straight time that the Rangers have scored the only goal of the game in the latter stages of the game to beat UMR.
Kelsey Kurilla was credited with two saves in goal for UMR (3-4, 0-3 GLVC), who will play at Lewis Sunday at noon.
