Late goal boosts RiverHawks to fifth straight win

MARYVILLE, Mo. -- A goal in the 89th minute by Sarah Rector was the difference maker on Sunday afternoon for the RiverHawks Women's Soccer team, as they beat Northwest Missouri 2-1 to pick up their fifth straight win. 

The RiverHawks are now 10-3-1 this season and 5-2 in conference action. The loss drops the Bearcats to 4-7-3 overall and 2-2-2 in MIAA play.

NSU got on the board first in the 19th minute when Mariah Nicolet scored off a pass from Callie Rucker to give the RiverHawks the lead. 

The RiverHawks would hold that lead all the way into the 79th minute, when the Northwest Missouri's Izzy Romano put the ball in the lower-left corner of the net to even the score. 

The RiverHawks were forced to play with only 10 players on the field for the final five minutes, but it didn't matter as Sarah Rector converted a corner kick in the 89th minute to give NSU the lead and eventually the win. 

The RiverHawks will wrap up their four-match roadtrip next weekend when they face Nebraska-Kearney and Fort Hays State.
