The Northwestern Rangers soccer team grabbed their sixth tie of the season on Senior Day Saturday against the Oklahoma Baptist Bison by a score of 0-0, stopping a two-game losing streak.
NWOSU soccer will lose nine seniors at the end of the season. Those seniors are goalie Maggie Koster, midfielders Faith Nino, Callie Haneborg and Lily Anderson, forward Falicia Bueno, defenders Sydne Edmiston Brogan Winston Taylor Songster, and Aaliyah Acevedo.
The Ranger’s defense came into play as they had seven saves.
“I’m really proud of our team defending as a unit,” said head coach Alex Piekarski. “Meg [Koster] our goalkeeper played really well, but all 10 of our players helped to defend, so it was a team effort and defensively I’m really glad that we were able to keep the shutout.”
NWOSU is currently 1-6-6 with a conference record of 0-3-4 and currently sits in seventh place in the GAC. Piekarski has faith in his team though. With five matches left, Piekarski said that his team is still alive for the post-season.
The Ranger’s next home game will be Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. against Southern Nazarene.
