Soccer: Wildcats Get Past Penguins, 1-0
    
Youngstown
-- - Youngstown State (0-2) played an evenly matched game against Northern Michigan (2-0) using defensive strategies to keep the first half scoreless, but the Penguins could not stop a high free kick resulting in the 1-0 loss.
    The Penguins only allowed one shot by Northern Michigan in the first half. The Wildcats also stepped up the defense as the Penguins only shot came from Carrie Wack.
     Both teams were ready to play in the second half of the game. Freshman Kate Bonn took one shot on goal for the Penguins. The Wildcats had a total of eight shots.
  The only score of the game came on free kick at 63:09 by Northern Michigan midfielder Amanda Gadomski sealing the Wildcats' victory.

   The Penguins last hopes of scoring came in the final 15 seconds of the game from a free kick by sophomore Jenna Fink that was just wide of the net.
    Northern Michigan out numbered YSU in shots nine to five and in corner kicks five to one.
   Head Coach Anthony James said that game was a tough loss.
   "
We dominated the first half as well as in Friday's game, but still came up losing." James said. "The team has to stay focused for our next game and make scoring our top priority".
    YSU will be back in action at home on Friday at 7 p.m. to take on Canisius.
