NO. 8 NORTHEAST OPENS HOME SCHEDULE WITH A CLEAN SHEET FROM THORNELL

NORFOLK, Neb.  – The No. 8 Northeast Community College women's soccer team hosted their home opener Sunday night at Norfolk Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk with a battle against Central Community College. The Hawks came out on top in the showdown by a final score of 4-0.

Goalkeeper Hannah Thornell (Auckland, New Zealand) tallied her second clean sheet of the season with the aide of the defense to give the Hawks bragging rights over the in-state Raiders for another year.

STAT SHEET:

Goals: Aidyn Woodall (Castle Rock, Colo.), Marleigh Leister (South Jordan, Utah), Jessie Eijbersen (Arnhem, Netherlands), Jaidyn Cavalieri (Castle Rock, Colo.)

HEAR FROM THE HAWKS COACH

Head Women's Soccer Coach Chad Miller on went right tonight:

"I love seeing so many girls joining in on the success of the team," Miller said. "I thought Central gave us some trouble in our possession, so being able to have success from different girls was great. Defensively, I felt we were strong, and that always helps when playing forward."

Miller on playing at home for the first time in 2023:

"I feel the win at home is a great kickoff for the girls," Miller said. "I saw a lot of families in the crowd, which is so huge for the players. A win is always a great feeling, but when you can get the first one in front of so many families and friends, it really makes it special."

UP NEXT:

The Hawks will return to the road for a duel with South Suburban College at 5 p.m. Friday in South Holland, Illinois.
