SIOUX FALLS, S.D.  – It is tough to beat a team for the third time.

The old cliché played itself out much to the chagrin of the Minot State University women's soccer team Friday at the USF Transitional Tournament.

The Beavers gave up four straight goals to fall 4-1 to host University of Sioux Falls, ending a three-match win streak of the MSU counterpart in expansion into the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference in 2012-13.

MSU (9-8 overall) got things going on the right foot with freshman sensation Zoe Fisher (M, Cambridgeshire, England) scoring her school record 11th goal of the season in the 13th minute of the match. It was Fisher's eighth goal in four matches and her third against the Cougars in less than a week.

But the lead didn't hold for long.

About 18 minutes, as USF's Brooke Jurgens scored the first of her two in the match. Her second put the game out of reach in the 68th minute after the Beavers scored an own goal early in the second half.

MSU's Ashley Barzcewski (Jr., GK, O'Fallon, Mo.) was bombarded with 11 shots as she turned away seven in the loss. MSU was outshot 19-10 in the match and 12-6 in shots on goal.

Outside of Fisher's four shots and sophomore Jamie MacFarlane's (M, Saskatoon, Sasktchewan) three, no other MSU player got off more than one shot in the match.

MSU plays the University of Winnipeg in the final match of the season Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
