Last Time Against Denver
North Dakota State soccer saw a five-game unbeaten run in league play come to an end, falling at Denver 2-1.
 
Olivia Watson gave the Bison the lead in the 33rd minute off of a corner kick. Tyreese Zacher sent a corner kick to the far post, where it was headed down by Gabrielle Garrett and Watson knocked it in from close range for her fourth goal of the season.
 
However, Denver would trail for only 73 seconds, as the Pioneers also capitalized on a corner kick and Ella Frost fired a shot through traffic to tie the game in the 34th minute.
 
With less than 10 minutes to go, Denver would be awarded a penalty after a video review. Frost would step up and convert with a shot to the left into the side netting, giving the Pioneers the lead.
