BURNABY, B.C. - Northwest Nazarene women's soccer dropped a heartbreaker to Simon Fraser on Thursday night, giving up an own goal with just 90 seconds remaining to fall to the Red Leafs 1-0.
Â
The Nighthawks move to 4-2-3 on the season and 2-2-1 in GNAC play.
Â
NNU held the upper hand in creating chances, registering 13 shots with five on goal while SFU tallied eight shots and just three on goal.
Â
It was the Red Leafs that would break the scoreless draw, though, in the final moments. SFU earned a corner and sent the ball into the box, where it was knocked around a few times before Kaiden Sherwood sent it towards goal. The ball deflected off an NNU defender and into the net just past the near post.
Â
The Nighthawks will now drive down I-5 and prepare to take on Western Washington on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. Pacific in Bellingham.
