Nebraska soccer drops season opener to Oklahoma State


Oklahoma State defeated the No. 6-ranked Nebraska soccer team 2-0 Thursday at Hibner Stadium in the season opener for both teams.

Florence Belzile finally put a shot on goal for the Huskers in the second half as Nebraska finished with 22 shots, four on target.

Oklahoma State’s quality-over-quantity approach paid off. The Cowgirls finished with 13 shots, five on net, including two goals that put Nebraska out of reach.

A Husker injury on one side turned into an Oklahoma State tally on the other end off the foot of Lexi Lee in the 66th minute to give the Cowgirls a 1-0 lead. Adelhia Ghonda gave OSU a cushion with another goal in the 74th. Sarah Weber, who led Nebraska in shots with six, suffered a cramp near the Cowgirls’ goal right before Lee’s opening tally.

Nebraska opened with an aggressive first-half approach with nine corner kicks to Oklahoma State’s one and outshot the Cowgirls 9-6 in the opening 45 minutes.

It’s depth chart season, and we start on offense. Luke Mullin and Amie Just agree Dylan Raiola is QB1. What about the other 10 spots?
