Drury Panthers – 2
KY Wesleyan Panthers – 0
A pair of first half goals were enough for Drury to get past the visiting Panther’s today. The game-winner was scored by Alyssa Alcorn (video below) in the 21st minute when she headed Hilary Cockrell’s corner kick just over the goalkeeper for her first goal of the season. Katie Pritchard (Waynesville) scored the second goal when she beat the keeper to a ball on the edge of the six yard box and tapped it in.
Allcorn scored at the 20:37 mark with a header off a Hillary Cockrell corner kick for a 1-0 advantage, then struck again at 35:24 when sophomore Katie Pritchard scored from three yards out off assists by junior Nicole Williams and freshman Kara Steiner. Senior keeper Jessie Sanderson picked up her fifth shutout of the season and school-record 35th of her career in goal for the Panthers, who out-shot Kentucky Wesleyan (2-10, 1-10 in the GLVC) by an 11-4 margin.
Drury, which improved to 6-6-1 overall and 4-5-1 in the GLVC, will hit the road next weekend for league matches at Indianapolis on Friday and Northern Kentucky on Sunday.

Kara Steiner, Drury Panthers moves past Kirstin Kurilla, MO S&T
Drury Panthers – 1 Missouri S&T Miners – 0
A penalty kick, in the 77th min, was all that separated these two teams today. Kara Steiner drew the call and Hillary Cockrell converted the kick.
The Panthers moved to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in GLVC play with the victory, while S & T fell to 3-3 and 3-3.
It was Cockrell’s first goal of the season and sixth of her career, in addition to being her fifth game-winner at DU in her three seasons with the Panthers. Senior keeper Jessie Sanderson posted her third shutout of the season and school-record 33rd of her career, picking up four saves along the way for the Panthers, who outshot the Lady Miners 10-8.
The Lady Miners dominated the opening period as they outshot the Panthers 8-3 in the frame and put four of those shots on goal. Unfortunately S&T was unable to put one in the net. The second half was all Drury as it dominated the stat sheet getting off seven shots, three on goal and had three corner kicks. Hillary Cockrell scored the game winner.
Drury hits the GLVC road next weekend for matches at Southern Indiana on Friday and Missouri-St. Louis on Sunday.

“We’ve got our minds set to go far into the postseason,” Lady Jays coach Matt Stacey said. “But we know people are going to be gunning for us.”
The team returns several starters, including a handful of seniors who have started since they were freshman.
One of the senior starters is Kara Steiner (pictured above), rumored to be a Drury Panther’s signee.
