Huskers Top Hoosiers, Complete Weekend Sweep

huskersoccerLincoln, Neb. – A strong second half propelled the Nebraska soccer team to a 3-0 win over Indiana at the Nebraska Soccer Field on Sunday afternoon.

Caroline Flynn, Mayme Conroy and Jaycie Johnson each scored goals for the Huskers, while Kelly Schatz and Erika Johnson combined for the shutout. Schatz earned one save in 75 minutes of action before Johnson finished the final 15 minutes.

In the 12th minute, Conroy crossed to Flynn, who knocked it in from five yards out. Flynn’s goal marked her third of the season, as the Huskers took a 1-0 lead into halftime.

Conroy added a goal of her own in the 79th minute off a pass from Katie Kraeutner. Conroy’s goal marked her seventh of the season, and Kraeutner’s assist was her second of the 2014 campaign.

In the 85th minute, Johnson went the distance from midfield, juking the goalkeeper before scoring to give NU a 3-0 advantage. The goal marked Johnson’s 11th of the season, and second of the weekend.

For the season, Nebraska has scored in the 75th minute or later on 10 occasions.

The Huskers outshot the Hoosiers 8-5 for the game, which included a 7-0 second half advantage. In addition to Flynn, Conroy and Johnson’s shots on goal, junior Jaylyn Odermann also took a shot on goal, giving the Huskers five for the game.

After its weekend sweep, Nebraska improves to 7-7-2 on the season, with a 3-5-2 record in the Big Ten. Indiana falls to 5-11-1, and holds a 1-9-1 conference mark.

The Huskers hit the road next weekend for a pair of matches. NU battles Penn State on Friday at 6 p.m. (CT) in University Park, Pa., before taking on Ohio State on Sunday at noon in Columbus, Ohio.
