Heimbach's late goal boosts women's soccer to 1-1 draw at Missouri Western

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Myka Heimbach scored her fifth goal of the season in the 80th minute as Northeastern State salvaged a 1-1 draw Sunday afternoon at Missouri Western.

The draw is the eighth of the year for the RiverHawks (5-3-8, 2-3-4 MIAA), who earned a critical MIAA point and will head into the final weekend of play a win ahead of Rogers State and Missouri Southern for the final postseason transfer spot. 

Missouri Western (5-7-4, 3-4-2 MIAA) broke the scoreless match in the 70th minute on a defensive misplay by the RiverHawks. 

Northeastern State returned the favor and got the equalizer off a free kick when the ball deflected off the Griffons' keeper.  A second bounce off Sydney Taylor's foot allowed Heimbach to score right in front of the MWSU goal.

The Griffons held a slight 11-to-10 edge on shots, with NSU having the advantage 6-to-5 on corners. 

Sunday's draw is the first between the two programs in 11 meetings.

The RiverHawks will close out the regular season at home and will host Newman on Thursday at 7 p.m.
