Marshall 1
Fulton 0
MARSHALL - The Lady Owls notched the decisive goal off of Lady Hornets' sophomore goalkeeper Katie Huffman in the 29th minute of the first half as Fulton fell in North Central Missouri Conference action on Monday.
The Lady Hornets (0-5, 0-2) managed just one shot on goal and two corner kicks as their season-opening offensive woes continued.
Huffman saved six of the seven shots she faced as Oestreich commended his team defense.
"I think we're pretty evenly matched with the Marshall team, but, again, the story our season: we can't generate offense," Oestreich said.
"Fatima usually doesn't miss a beat and replenishes its positions every year," Bulldogs head coach Heath Lepper said. "All of their boys know how to play ball and their baseball IQ is high."
