Late Goal Lifts Coyotes to Victory

Megan Rasmussen warded off six attempts, but the Coyotes snuck in a goal in the 80th minute.

VERMILLION, S.D. - Megan Rasmussen had a busy day in the net in the set finale between the Western Illinois and South Dakota women's soccer teams Sunday (March 14). The senior goalkeeper warded off six attempts on 13 shots faced, but the Coyotes snuck in a score in the 80th minute for the 1-0 final. 

South Dakota limited Western to one shot in the opening half -- an on-target strike by Carolina Gomes in the 37th minute -- before the visiting Leathernecks riffled off four in the final period. They were outshot 13-5 on the day, and Gomes was responsible for two of the three shots on-goal. She sent a ball low center in the 75th minute that ended in the hands of the Coyote keeper. 

The Leathernecks continue their six-game road swing at Oral Roberts March 19 and 21. Friday's match is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. and the Sunday finale at 1 p.m.
