Box Score Final Stats

FARGO, N.D. - The UNO Maverick women's soccer team fell 3-1 at reigning Summit League tournament champion North Dakota State on Sunday afternoon.

The Mavericks (3-3-2) trailed 1-0 heading into halftime, but two quick Bison goals out of the gate in the second half were enough to put away UNO, forcing the Mavs into a weekend split with the two North Dakota schools.

Holly Christian opened the scoring on a header in the 29th minute for North Dakota State (6-2-0), which qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season by winning the Summit League tournament championship. Christian notched her second header goal of the game seven minutes after the halftime break to make it 2-0. Then Katie Tallas made it 3-0 on a rebound in the 55th minute.

Katie Pickinpaugh answered quickly for UNO with a penalty kick goal in the 56th minute, but the Mavs couldn't put the ball across the line the rest of the way.

The Bison outshot UNO on goal, 13-4. Katelyn Tschida made a career-high 10 saves for the Mavericks.

UNO plays just one game next weekend when it travels to UMKC on Saturday for a 7 p.m., match.
