ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- S&T dropped to 1-3 on the season today, falling to the Missouri Western State University Griffons by a single goal.
The Griffons pushed into S&T territory early in the match, earning a pair of corner kicks in the first seven minutes. A few minutes later, a foul by
Drue Gaal (Kirkwood, MO/Kirkwood) led to an unsuccessful penalty kick for Missouri Western.
Despite being outshot 8-0, the Miners held the Griffons scoreless in the first half. Missouri Western didn't waste much time in the second half, scoring a goal four minutes into the second half.
S&T got their first shot attempt in the 67th minute, with an attempt by
Nathalie Bello (Hattiesburg, MS/Sacred Heart) getting stopped by the Griffons' goalkeeper. The Miners would get another pair of goals in the 80th minute, with both
Macy Wilderson (Kansas City, MO/St. Pius X) and
Ava Hoenes (Columbia, MO/Hickman) getting a chance, but both were unsuccessful.
The Miners would go on to lose 0-1 to the Griffons as they drop to 0-3 in non-conference play this season.

The Miners travel to Springfield, Missouri to face the Drury Panthers on Sunday, before heading to St. Louis for matches against Maryville and UMSL next week.
