Mavs Shut Out North Dakota, 2-0
Sep 1, 2013 | Women's Soccer
OMAHA, Neb. - The Omaha women's soccer team put together a complete performance to earn its first victory of the season, 2-0 over North Dakota Sunday at the UNO Soccer Field.
The Mavs played a strong first half going into the wind, then with the wind at their backs took control of the match with two goals in the second half by Ava Doetsch and Melanie McCormick. The Mavericks (1-3) were stout defensively, as North Dakota never truly threatened Maverick goalkeeper Meaghan Clark.
In the first half, UNO pushed forward often despite going against the 25 mph wind. Doetsch was active around the goal, putting a shot just wide of the net and a cross that went off the crossbar.
With the wind aiding them in the second half, the Mavs broke through at the 58:02 mark. McCormick played a ball down the left sideline to Doetsch, and the freshman worked her way around a defender and put a shot in that deflected off a defender into the left side of the net. It was Doetsch's first career goal and the first lead of the season for the Mavericks.
The Mavericks continued to maintain possession on the attack and were rewarded with a second goal in the 67th minute. Monica Bosiljevac was tripped up on the right side of the box for a penalty kick. McCormick took the PK and placed it into the right-side netting to make it 2-0, giving her a goal and an assist on the day.
The Mavs nearly added a third goal in the final two minutes, but Courtney Neville's rip from 15 yards hit the crossbar.
The Mavs finished the match with a 20-10 shot advantage and 6-3 edge in shots on goal. Clark made three saves to earn the shutout. UNO also dominated corner kicks by a 10-2 margin.
Omaha visits Northern Iowa this Friday for a 7 p.m. contest. The Mavs then return home to host Wyoming next Sunday at 1 p.m.
