WILDER, Ky. - The Northern Kentucky University women’s soccer team scored three goals during the first 26 minutes of the game and cruised to a 3-0 victory against Indianapolis on Sunday. Amie Noll, Amanda Mason and Kara Costello all netted goals for NKU, which improved to 13-2 overall, 9-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The Norse also wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the upcoming GLVC Tournament and will host a first-round game Nov. 2. Noll began the scoring for NKU at the 19:55 mark with a goal off assists from Costello and Brandi Doss. The Norse struck again four minutes later when Mason blasted a 20-yard shot into the net. Doss and Kelly Sullivan were credited with assists on that play. Costello capped the scoring burst for NKU at the 25:04 mark by knocking in a shot off an assist from Lauren Franzen, a senior playing in her final regular-season home game. NKU senior goalie Angela Healy recorded the shutout and collected five saves in the victory. The Norse finished with a 17-13 edge in shot attempts and a 7-3 advantage in corner kicks. NKU, which is ranked No. 16 nationally in the NCAA Division II poll, extended its winning streak to seven with the victory. The Norse are also third in the NCAA II Midwest Region poll. NKU will play host to seventh-seeded Bellarmine at noon next Sunday in the first round of the GLVC Tournament at the Town & Country Sports Complex. The Norse defeated the Knights last week, 2-1, at Louisville, Ky.
