OMAHA, Neb. – The Omaha women's soccer team created eight second half chances, but couldn't find the equalizer as the Mavericks fell to Kansas State 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Caniglia Field.
The Wildcats scored what proved to be the game-winning goal from a shot by Dora Gallo in the 68th minute. Laramie Hall played a ball from the right side of the penalty area that found Gallo on the far side of the box. Gallo controlled the pass and tucked her shot just inside the left post for the score.
