WATERLOO, Iowa -- The University of Northern Iowa women's soccer team dropped its regular season finale against Drake, 2-0, at the Cedar Valley Soccer Complex on Thursday night. The loss kept UNI from qualifying for the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and eliminated UNI from postseason contention.
Drake (10-5-3, 3-3-0 MVC) captured only a narrow 17-14 advantage in shots, but the Bulldogs were able to find the back of the net twice. Paige Dusek opened the scoring for Drake in the 26th minute and Laura Moklestad sealed the victory with a goal in the 89th minute.
UNI threatened to tie the match several times, including an extended scramble in the box during the 72nd minute. The Panthers also had three corner kicks in the second half.
Sophomore Kiki McClellan led UNI with three shots. Freshman Erin Zaideman started in goal for the Panthers and registered four saves.
UNI entered the contest needing a victory to advance to the State Farm MVC Tournament. Seven Panthers (Colleen Gallagher, Jana Teague, Nicole Ferlito, Kalyn Jones, Chelsie Hochstedler, KJ Shepard and Laura Heaton) were recognized during a Senior Night presentation before the game.
The Panthers conclude the 2010 season with a record of 4-12-2 overall and 1-5-0 in the MVC.
