Romeoville, Ill. - The Missouri S&T women's soccer team played well in all phases of this Friday (Oct. 19) evening's match versus Lewis but couldn't get a score as the Miners dropped a 1-0 decision to the Flyers in Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) play at Lewis Stadium.

Missouri S&T, which entered the match seeking its second consecutive GLVC win, totaled six shots on goal for the match to Lewis' five.  But, the outcome was decided by one score which came from the Flyers in the opening 45 minutes of play.  Lewis' Karlie Cummins tallied her third goal of the year on a header off Mallory Richardson's corner kick at 18:38 of the first half in what would represent the only ball to get past S&T senior goalkeeper Liz Carrano (Gurnee, Ill./Warren Township), who made four saves in 90 minutes between the posts.
