RiverHawks stay perfect with 2-0 shutout over Ouachita Baptist

TAHLEQUAH – Paige Lorenzo and Paulina Chavez both had goals for the RiverHawks who blanked Ouachita Baptist 2-0 in NSU's regular season home opener on Friday evening.  Chavez was credited with the game winner after scoring in the 19th minute of the contest on a pass from Leslie Munoz.  The shutout is the second consecutive for the RiverHawks who climb to 3-0 this season.  Sophomore goalkeeper Brennan Hockett had three saves in front of the net against the Tigers (1-2).
 
IN THE BOXSCORE
  • Northeastern State out-shot OBU 18-to-11 and had seven shots on-goal.
  • Mariah Nicolet nearly gave the RiverHawks their second goal early in the second period.  The junior had a ball get pass the OBU keeper in the 56th minute but the roll died before crossing the backline.  One minute later, she would hit the top crossbar.
  • Ouachita Baptist could not capitalize on six corner kicks.
 
TURNING POINT
Lorenzo's goal in the 86th minute came on a kick that went left of the OBU keeper on the left side of the net to make it a 2-nil contest.
