TAHLEQUAH --
Callie Rucker had two goals as the RiverHawks air-raided Nebraska-Kearney with a program-record 48 shots en-route to a 3-0 win Friday night.
Northeastern State surpassed its previous mark by three, set on Sept. 12, 2019, against Southern Nazarene in Tahlequah.
Friday's win is the third consecutive for the RiverHawks as they improve to 7-5-3 overall and 4-3-1 in the MIAA and remain in sixth place in the league standings.

Hayley Garcia.
Heimbach had 13 shot attempts, the most in a game since Mariah Nicolet who had 11 against Rogers State on Nov. 1, 2019.
Rucker brought her season goal count to six, and Heimbach now has three on the season.
