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 Lady Panthers – 2 Northeastern State – 1
The Drury University women’s soccer team scored two second half goals to knock off the RiverHawks of Northeastern State 2-1 Friday afternoon at Curry Sports Complex/Harrison Stadium.
Two Panthers scored their first collegiate goals with freshman forward Lindsey Sprouse scoring at the 49 minute mark and sophomore midfielder Beth Schramka scoring at the 57:30 mark. Junior Hillary Cockrell assisted on both goals. The RiverHawks scored their goal on a penalty kick from Rachel Sordahl at the 74 minute mark.
“I thought the first 20 minutes of both halves we played very good and in the second half we came out really strong,” said head coach Alf Bilbao. “Overall it was a good win for us.”
Drury outshot Northeastern State thirteen to nine with both Cockrell and Kelly Gallagher each getting three for DU. Drury senior goalkeeper Jessie Sanderson recorded four saves and Northeastern State goalie Deb Hill posted eight.
The Panthers are 3-3-0 overall after last Sunday’s 2-1 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory at Illinois-Springfield on two goals from sophomore forward Katie Pritchard.
Northeastern State is 3-1-1 overall with wins over Missouri Southern (1-0), A & M International (4-0) and St. Mary’s (1-0) to go with a 1-1 tie against Northwest Missouri State. Rachel Sordal, a sophomore forward, is off to a quick start for the RiverHawks from Tahlequah, Okla., with four goals in four matches. Drury and NSU played last year in Tahlequah, with the Panthers coming home a 2-0 winner.
Drury will continue its homestand at 2:30 p.m., when Rockhurst visits Harrison for a GLVC matchup to be televised by Mediacom 22 on a tape-delay basis.

Glendale Falcons – 3 Kickapoo Chiefs – 1
In a tale of two halves, the Chief’s took an early lead this evening when senior Marin Gelsheimer’s long-range stop took one bounce before skipping past the goalkeeper for a goal. Gelsheimer received the ball on a give-and-go with Megan Melugin. Catch it on KOLR10 news tonight! The Chief’s continued with their solid effort, creating more opportunities and winning loose balls consistently. It took special effort by Ashley McWilliams and Alix Opfer to stop a pair of close range opportunities in the second half that might have extended the Chief’s lead. The Falcon’s best opportunity came midway through the half when sophomore Molly Brewer put her shot from 12 yard’s out off the crossbar.
The second half started with an increase in the wind speed and the Falcon’s approach to the game. Whether from a tongue-lashing from Coach Roger’s or a look inside, the Falcon’s decided to play up to their considerable talent level in the second half. The crowd rose in anticipation seven minutes into the half when Lindsey Sprouse broke in alone on the goalkeeper, only to see her shot pushed up and over. A minute later Sprouse took a different approach, with a quick long range shot from 25 yards out in the 48th that fell underneath the crossbar and tied the game. The Falcon’s earned a corner kick 8 minutes later and when the ball popped out of a scrum in the box, sophomore Alix Opfer, who was waiting on the far side, buried her shot for the ultimate game winner. The final goal was scored by junior Emily Cline who won a goal kick that didn’t get far due to the stiff wind. She pushed the ball forward and while moving from left to right at the top of the box, pushed her shot to the far left for the final margin.
Glendale faces Catholic tomorrow night, weather dependent, and then will take the weekend off. Kickapoo faces Branson in the first round of the District 11 playoffs on Saturday evening at Parkview.

Kelly Smith, West Plains clears ball in front of Jennifer McArthur, Marshfield
Marshfield Blue Jays – 0 West Plains Zizzers – 1 (2nd OT)
She’s back! Sophomore Tasha Ugbah, who played a 10 minute shift in the second half for her first minutes of the season, came on at the start of the second overtime in the scoreless tie at Marshfield and got the game winner in the first minute. A thru ball sent Ugbah in a foot race with the defender and as the keeper came out, Ugbah poked the ball past her into the empty net. A key for the Zizzer’s was the play of junior Sammi Phegley in goal as she made several says during the course of the game to deny the Jay’s.
It was a lively game, despite the fact that Marshfield was coming off their Tournament win at Branson this weekend and a stretch of 6 games in 8 days. The Jays created more opportunities in the game, especially in the second half and first overtime period, but were unable to get the final touch on the ball including an early breakaway as well as a pair of crosses by senior Dannyca Mostrom from the right side that went right through the six yard box. A tough loss for the Jays as they battle to stay ahead of West Plains and Logan-Rogersville in the Class 2 District 5 seeding race.

Neosho Wildcats – 3 Carl Junction Bulldogs – 2
This local derby was a lively affair tonight. Neosho jumped out to a 1-0 lead. A hand ball in the box gave Kelsey Swarens a chance to tie the game which she did from the penalty spot.

Kickapoo Chiefs – 0 Rolla Bulldogs – 1
The Bulldogs bounced back from their first ever loss to Parkview on Tuesday with the Conference win at Kickapoo this evening. An even affair that looked like it might go to PKs was decided in the 63rd minute when senior Olivia Cox created her own opportunity. An initial attack into the box by senior Kaylyn Stoll was cleared towards the fans where Olivia picked it up, looked for a pass and then split a pair of defender’s before running into the right side of the box. Her shot 12 yards from the endline on the right edge of the box had just enough to get over the keeper’s reach and settled into the far side netting.
After a first half that didn’t generate a significant opportunity, the Chiefs came out and put significant pressure on the Bulldogs in the second half, creating half a dozen corner kicks as well as several set pieces from outside the box. That continued after the Bulldogs scored as they concentrated on defending their lead and the Chiefs pressed to equalize. Between senior sweeper Taylor Banholzer and keeper Adrian Pogue, the Bulldogs were able to maintain a clean sheet, a necessity in a season that has seen them outscored 4-6 with a 3-2 record now. This is a team that gave up only 12 goals all last Spring so it was an important step and the players satisfaction with the result showed post-game. The Bulldogs and Chiefs both head for St Louis this weekend with Rolla facing Visitation Saturday while the Chiefs compete in the Parkway College Showcase.

She can just drill that ball from outside.” All three Kickapoo goals came in the first half, but Waynesville (1-3, 0-1 Ozark Conference) was effective stopping Adams the second. The WHS defense clamped down on her and she only got a few touches.
