Second-half struggles hold back Women’s soccer in conference loss

DeKALB — Women’s soccer suffered its fourth-straight loss, third in Mid-American Conference play, after being defeated 3-1 Friday by Eastern Michigan University.

The Huskies were able to keep up with the Eagles in the first half, but fell behind in the second as EMU put quality shots on goal. NIU first-year forward Nicolette Gossage scored the lone goal for the Huskies, while NIU junior goalkeeper Megan Donnally had ten saves.

In the fourth minute, EMU attempted the first shot on goal. EMU sophomore midfielder Kylie Frantz tried her luck, but Donnally was there to make the save.
