Northeast women’s soccer blanks NIACC

MASON CITY, Iowa – The Northeast Community College women's soccer team hit the road on Wednesday afternoon and shut out North Iowa Area Community College, 3-0 in an ICCAC match in Mason City, Iowa.

Naomi Pedroza (Hastings, Neb.) was the lone goal scorer for the Hawks () as she tallied all three goals. Romeni Gurmendi (Boulder, Colo.) assisted Pedroza in the 18^th-minute, while Meghan Colton (Royal Oak, Mich.) found Pedroza on an open shot in the 22^nd-minute. Pedroza's final goal was unassisted in the 62^nd-minute that rounded out the Hawks' scoring.

The Hawks outshot NIACC, 20-4.

"We started off the game really well and had good possession and buildup, but as the game went on, we seemed to have some troubles adjusting to the wind and the surface," head coach Chad Miller said. "NIACC came to play and it was good competition for us."

The Hawks are scheduled to compete in the Region XI Tournament, which begins on Friday. If the Hawks are the No. 1 seed, they will have a bye in the first round and host the semifinal round on Tuesday at Veterans Memorial Field in Norfolk.
