Women's Soccer Loses Close Road Game

Midway, KY – The Knights played their fourth consecutive road game to open the 2021 season and suffered a 0-1 loss to the Eagles of Midway University. The game was scoreless through the first half but that changed in the 64th minute when MU was awarded a penalty kick which they converted. That score held up for the remainder of the contest.

Knights Stats

• Abbie Hibbs (JR/Danville, KY) led KCU with four total shots with one of those being on goal.
• Right behind Hibbs, Ari Shank (SO/Ramsey, MN) also produced a shot on goal in her three shots taken.
• Jayce Buchner (JR/Russellville, Ky) was credited with the final shot on goal for the Knights offense.
• Royce Henderson (FR/Mt. Sterling, KY) got her first start in goal for KCU and made saves on five of the six shots she faced.

Team Totals

• KCU took 11 shots but were unable to find the back of the net in this extremely tight game.
• An encouraging stat was the ability of the offense to generate double-digit shot attempts.

The Winning Factor

• The successful penalty kick was the difference.

Who's Up Next
