TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The University of Northern Iowa women's soccer team was victorious their Missouri Valley Conference opener at Indiana State on Friday night, 1-0. The game ended in the 80th minute due to weather delays.
The Panthers scored in the 78th minute when a shot from senior Melissa Hagan was punched into the air by the Sycamore keeper. Fellow senior Ashley Capone then headed the ball off of the deflection into the right side of the net for the score.
