FAYETTEVILLE — In the latter stages of Arkansas’ 1-0 victory over Michigan State on Sunday at Razorback Field, it looked as if the game might be headed toward a scoreless tie.

Arkansas (4-1) had taken 17 shots, with six saved by Michigan State keeper Lauren Kozal. The redshirt senior was playing a masterful game in the box and making diving stops to keep the Razorbacks off the board.

Prior to Sunday she had only given up one goal this season and earned the latest Big Ten goalkeeper of the week honors.
