Emporia State got goals from four different players and posted their fourth shutout in the last six matches in a 4-0 win over Neb.-Kearney on Friday afternoon.
Going against a stiff wind in the first half the Hornets got on the board thanks to a ricochet off the left post by Hannah Woolery in the 21st minute. It would stay 1-0 at the break with Emporia State outshooting the Lopers 9-4 in the opening 45 minutes.
Aislinn Hughes gave the Hornets a 2-0 lead in the 50th minute on a header off a Joanie Westcoat corner kick. Just 15 minutes later Mackenzie Dimarco got a pass from Haley Sparks and scored her league leading 14th goal of the season as she faked out the keeper. Mikayla Lampe finished up the scoring when Woolery played a ball wide to the left side and Lampe put it past the keeper for a 4-0 lead in the 83rd minute.
Tori Bailey and Mackenzi Goen combined for the shutout with Bailey getting the only save of the match. The Lopers only got off four shots in the match and none in the second half.
Emporia State was able to play 23 players in the match with everyone getting at least seven minutes of action.
The Hornets will wrap up the regular season on Sunday afternoon when they play host to Washburn on Senior Day. Kick-off for the Turnpike Tussle is set for 2:00 p.m. with Senior Day activities taking place before the match.
