Box Score
William Jewell's hopes of making a run through the GLVC postseason tournament as the #7 seed were dashed in the 88th minute by nationally ranked and #2 seed Truman State University, who used a beautiful cross and header to edge the Cardinals 2-1 in Kirksville, Missouri on Sunday.
The Cardinals took a 1-0 lead on
Kate Beaver's corner kick (with a 25 mile-per-hour wind behind her) that
Lauren Rein was able to head in from four yards in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Â The lead stood up until the 67th minute when Truman scored on a 20 yard shot of a deflection, leading to the game-winning goal 21 minutes later.
Jewell finishes the year with a 10-8-1 record, as an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament is virtually impossible.
The Cards finished the year by winning five of their final 8 matches.
