DES MOINES, Iowa – The Illinois State Redbirds rallied to defeat the Drake University women's soccer team, 3-2, Saturday night in Missouri Valley Conference play at the Cownie Soccer Stadium.
"Tonight's result is disheartening," said head coach Lindsey Horner. "We got the ball into dangerous areas and were quite good for stretches of the game especially in the second half. We defended so well and to deflect two goals into our own net was too much for us to overcome this evening."
Drake (9-4-2, 0-3-1 MVC) scored the match's first goal as senior Kayla Armstrong (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) stole the ball from Illinois State's (9-5-2, 3-0-1 MVC) defense.
