Northeastern State Riverhawks – 0
Nationally fourth-ranked Drury closed out its regular season with a 4-0 non-conference victory over Northeastern State to cap Senior Day festivities Friday at Harrison Stadium. Senior Steve Wilczewski scored two goals and senior Andrew Bordelon added another as the Panthers moved to 17-1-0 on the season. Northeastern State fell to 8-7.
Drury used the match as a tuneup for Sunday’s opening round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament, where the top-seeded Panthers will play host to No. 8 seed Missouri-St. Louis in a 1 p.m. match at Harrison.
Wilczewski got the Panthers on the board first with his goal with 19 minutes left in the first half off junior Micah Whorton’s team-leading 12th assist of the season, for a 1-0 DU lead that would stand through halftime.

Sophomore keeper Stephen Conner registered his school-record 11th shutout of the season and the 12th of the season by the Panthers, also a team record.
Prior to the contest, Drury recognized seniors Wilczewski, Bordelon, Ben Nabers and Jake Allison for their outstanding careers, including their roles in producing the most successful season in DU soccer history.
The Riverhawks are a D2 program that is part of the South Central region, where they are ranked 5th behind West Texas A&M, Midwestern State and Truman State. They travel next week to play at Midwestern St and Oral Roberts, finishing with Eastern New Mexico and West Texas A&M at home next weekend in their pursuit of an NCAA berth.

The morning opened with the only upset of the day, as the Blue Jays took advantage of a depleted Cub’s squad.

MHS Cubs Fall To Marshfield In District Soccer
Playing without their top three scorers, the Monett Cubs soccer team was defeated 3-0 by the Marshfield Bluejays in the first round of the Class 2A District 5 tournament at Marshfield on Saturday morning. Monett finished the season with a 10-8 record.
“We played hard but we were short-handed on offense,” said Monett Coach Jeremy Wilson. “One player was absent due to a family obligation. Another was suspended for disciplinary reasons and a third was academically ineligible. “It’s tough to compete in this situation,” said Wilson. “We were asking kids to do things they were not used to doing.”

#1 Bolivar Liberators – 3 (PKs)
#8 West Plains Zizzers – 2
What a game this was. I really can’t do justice to the ebb and flow, as the Liberators took a 2-0 lead on goals in the 22nd and 45th minute from Bradley Stillwagon, only to see the Zizzer’s battle back with a pair of goals in the 49th and 50th minutes. The first was direct from a corner kick by Justyn Biggers (see it below) and the second by senior Klay Norman, who led by example in the game, when he received a pass in close quarters in the Liberator’s end, held off two defenders before turning 180 degrees to get into the box and put his shot to the far post past a diving keeper.
