Box Score

The University of Wisconsin-Parkside women's soccer team responded from a defeat on Friday with a big 1-0 victory over 16^th-ranked Bellarmine University. Emily Konior scored her first career goal for the Rangers in the eighth minute and the defense made it hold up for a key GLVC win. The Rangers improved to 6-2 in league play while the Knights absorbed their first loss and are now 7-1. Parkside is now a game behind the three front-runners who all sit at 7-1.

The Rangers controlled the early going and were able to cash in on their third corner kick. Madison Pickett teed one up and Konior finished with a header just 7:12 into the match. Parkside came in 5-0 when scoring first and counted on their defense the rest of the way to make the goal stand.

They nearly added to the lead at the 30:11 mark but Natalie Brown's shot clanked off the post and bounced away keeping the match at 1-0. The Rangers outshot the Knights 8-5 for the period and took the lead into the locker room.

Bellarmine turned the tables in the second half and outshot Parkside 6-4 but was able to put just one shot on goal. Three of those shots came in the final five minutes as the Rangers fought off a late rush and held on for the victory.

Cassie Glodowski recorded the shutout for the Rangers, the 30^th of her  career. She had three saves on the day as she improved to 6-2. It was also the 50^th win of her career. She is 50-10-7 as the Parkside keeper.

The Rangers will return home next weekend to start a four game home stand. They'll get it started on Friday with a 1:15 match against Kentucky Wesleyan College.
