Northeast women fall to top-10 NJCAA DI Laramie County

LARAMIE, Wyo. – The Northeast Community College women's soccer team held strong, but couldn't overcome NJCAA DI seventh-ranked Laramie County Community College on Saturday in Laramie, Wyo.

The Hawks (3-2) trailed by just a goal at halftime but couldn't find the back of the net when it needed to the most. Laramie County outshot the Hawks, 17-11.

"Another game of moving the ball around really well, but being unable to finish on our chances," head coach Chad Miller said. "Laramie is a top-10 team in Division One, and they are good. I felt we handled ourselves well and made a great game of it. Laramie got a goal in the 81^st-minute to take the 2-0 lead, but our girls didn't quit. With about four minutes remaining, we had another great chance to get us on the board but came up short. We are playing great soccer against great competition. This group has shown a lot of growth."

The Hawks welcome another DI team to Norfolk as No. 5 Iowa Western Community College visits for a 1 p.m. match at Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk.
