Missed opportunities proved fatal for Kansas City Kansas Community College’s women’s soccer team in a 2-1 loss to unbeaten Neosho County Saturday.
“We had shots hit the post twice and missed a wide open goal,” KCKCC coach Shawn Uhlenhake said. “We had the opportunities to score but did not capitalize; allowing Neosho to stay in the game and they made us pay with a late goal.”
The loss evened the Blue Devils record at 1-1 heading into a doubleheader at Allen County Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. A men’s contest will follow at 7:30 p.m. Both Blue Devils teams will return home next Tuesday to entertain Johnson County,
With the score deadlocked 1-1, Neosho’s Savannah Moberly scored an unassisted goal in the 81st minute to win it Saturday.
Moberly also scored Neosho’s first goal without an assist at the 40-minute mark but KCKCC tied the game almost immediately on an unassisted goal by Cristina Alvarez, a freshman forward from Seattle.
“Our center backs, Sydney Guerra and Madison Plake, played well as did Karleigh Enyart defensively,” Uhlenhake said. “Also, Alee Alter played well in goal.” Alter was credited with nine saves. “The good news is the opportunities were there; we just need to capitalize, especially on our home field.”
The game was the seventh game for Neosho, which stayed unbeaten at 7-0 while it was only the second contest for KCKCC. The Blue Devils were rained out of a game at Butler last Wednesday. That game has been rescheduled for mid-October.
