MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -- The North Central Women's Soccer team faced off against the Eagles of the University of Northwestern-St. Paul on Thursday afternoon, falling by a score of 0-4. 

The Eagles came out fast scoring three goals in the first half-hour of play, and went into the half leading the Rams, 3-0. 

The Rams came out better in the second half and just missed a goal on a shot from junior forward, Shelby Norman (Winstead, Minn. / Watertown-Mayer).

The defense played better as well and almost was able to keep the Eagles of the board in the second half, but a goal in the 84th minute, gave them the four-goal lead, which is where it would finish.

The same two sides will play again this Saturday night, under the lights, this time in St. Paul on the campus of Northwestern. Kick off is scheduled for 7:15 PM.
