Box Score MINOT, N.D. – The Minot State University women's soccer team let one get away this afternoon when they welcomed Minnesota-Crookston to Herb Parker stadium.

In a game largely dictated by strong wind gusts, the Golden Eagles found themselves on the winning end of a 1-0 score line after slipping a ball past Gemma Biasetto (Jr., GK, Albuquerque, N.M.) in the 88th minute. Erin Mears was credited with the goal.

The Beavers had the wind at their backs in the first half and carried the play for the majority of the half. Despite the advantage in possession Minot State was unable to capitalize on any of their six shots in the half. Crookston finished the half with one shot.

The two teams flip-flopped roles in the second half with Crookston holding much of the possession while the Beavers were on the back foot. UMC held a 6-2 advantage in the shots category and broke the deadlock late in regulation, after what seemed to be a game surely headed to extra-time.

Emilie Rebelo (Jr., CM, Sacramento, Calif.) led the way for the Beavers with three shots. Jamie Macfarlane (Sr., F, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) also had three shots in the match.

The Beavers will have to refocus quickly as Bemidji State comes to Minot, N.D. tomorrow afternoon for another NSIC match. According to head coach Jason Spain, coming out with a result tomorrow comes down to one thing.

"We need to play offense," he said.
