THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Women's Soccer team (5-2 -1, 3-1-1 Heartland Conference)  avoided its second straight tie as a header by Emmy Niece broke a scoreless tie with Rogers State (6-2, 3-2) in the 104th minute.

Niece's goal was her second in as many games this week. Kaci Parks recorded the assist with a corner kick. 

The Patriots dominated possession of the ball, recording 12 total shots on goal to the Hillcats' one. DBU outshot RSU 23-5.

Hope Koym only faced one shot on goal, but played a key role in keeping Rogers State scoreless, making plays on cross passes and loose balls.

It comes down to us continuing to struggle to finish. I'm happy with the performance of the team, we've just got to find that final piece."
