ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – A goal late in the first half was all Lewis needed Sunday afternoon to defeat Missouri S&T's women's soccer team 1-0 in a Great Lakes Valley Conference matchup.
Grace DeVaux scored in the final minute of the opening half, as she headed in a corner kick from Elisa Aguilar to give the Flyers (6-4-4, 5-1-3 GLVC) the advantange.
Lewis had a 14-5 advantage in shots in the game, but the Miners (5-5-3, 4-5-1 GLVC) had two good scoring chances in the second half. The first came in the 62
nd minute when the Miners got a free kick into the box, but couldn't get a shot on net, then
Beth Roberts (Lake St. Louis, MO/Liberty) had a shot stopped moments later. S&T had another chance about 10 minutes later, but
Aubrey Case's (Yorktown, VA/Tabb) shot into the frame was turned away.
Roberts had two of S&T's five shots in the contest, while
Anastasia Barcom (St. Louis, MO/Rosati-Kain) finished with three saves.
With Sunday's results, the Miners remained among the top eight teams in the GLVC as they are now tied with Missouri-St. Louis for seventh in the standings with 13 points. The Miners still have a four-point lead over Quincy and are five points in front of Truman State and Indianapolis; all three teams have a game at hand on the Miners.
S&T will play its final three games at home, beginning with next Sunday's noon contest against Maryville.
