WICHITA – For the second straight match, the Nebraska Wesleyan women's soccer team was held without a goal as they were shutout 2-0 by Friends University on Friday night (Sept. 2) in Wichita, Kan.
Â
After winning their two opening exhibition matches in shutout fashion, the Prairie Wolves have been shutout in both of their regular season matches in back-to-back days.
Â
Friends got ahead early as Emma Cuda scored a goal in the seventh minute at the 7:48 mark to put the Falcons up 1-0. The 1-0 score would remain until intermission as NWU was unable to crack the scoreboard.
Â
The Falcons extended their lead early in the second half as Hanna Newhouse scored a goal just over three minutes into the second half. That two goal lead would be more than enough for the Falcons as they shutout NWU.
Â
Nebraska Wesleyan attempted eight total shots in the match, compared to only nine for Friends but the Prairie Wolves just couldn't convert any scoring opportunities.
Â
NWU will look to rebound on Sunday when they travel to Waldorf.
