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.

GLVC Soccer: Drury Panthers vs Lewis FlyersDrury Panthers – 2
Lewis Flyers – 1
The Lady Panthers clinched a GLVC playoff berth with their win tonight at home. The teams were tied at the half as neither team could develop a rhythm, or maintain control long enough to score. Drury broke through in 52nd however when Nicole Williams ran onto a long ball from Kelsy Long and put a well-placed shot under the charging goalkeeper and into the far side netting. The Flyers tied it in the 76th and were applying pressure until William’s got the game winner in the 82nd. This time it was winning a foot race for a loose ball, carrying it from right to left into the box, where she buried her shot into the upper 90 (pictured) at a full run. Sweet.
