MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Minnesota State Moorhead soccer will look to grab a pair of NSIC victories this week against Minnesota Duluth and Bemidji State. The Dragons travel for a 6 p.m. match with the Bulldogs on Friday before hosting the Beavers on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Live video and stats will be available at msumdragons.com. Moorhead is coming off a pair of losses in NSIC play last week, falling to Concordia-St. Paul and Winona State on the road. 

The Magnificent Malo...True freshman Kaci Malo finally found the net in MSUM's match with Winona State on Sunday afternoon. Malo was able to head in a lovely cross attempt from Lilly Johnson for her first career goal. The Delano, Minn., native had been close on numerous occasions, logging eight shots on net so far in 2025. That mark comes out of 13 total attempts, putting Malo's shot on goal percentage at an impressive .615. 

Lilly Facilitates...Senior forward Lilly Johnson was again key in Moorhead's offensive gameplan last weekend. Johnson assisted on the aforementioned goal from Malo, her first assist of the 2025 season. In her career, Johnson has five assists, including three in her true freshman campaign in 2022. The North Branch, Minn., native also logged a shot on goal against the Warriors.

Carter On The Move...Senior goalkeeper Quinn Carter would make eight saves against the Warriors on Sunday, moving her career total to 207 saves. The effort moved Carter past both Melissa Russell and Tammi Radder (203) on the all-time list as she now sits with the seventh-most saves in program history. Carter is one of eight players in program history to accrue 200 or more saves in a career. 

Trust In Truslow...Fellow senior goalkeeper Rylee Truslow matched her Dragon career-high after saving 12 shots against Concordia-St. Paul on Friday. Truslow's performance gave her exactly 100 saves for her MSUM career. Combined with her career at Bluefield State, Truslow has made 221 career saves. 

Activating The Offense...Sophomore Madalynn Hopkins and redshirt senior Brooklyn Broderick continued to initiate offense for the Dragons in two matches last week. The pairing combined for five total shots, with four logged on goal for an .800 shots on goal clip. Both Hopkins and Broderick are tied for the team lead with 12 shots on goal this season. Hopkins leads the roster with 25 total shots in 2025. 

Scott Forster is in his second season as MSUM's head soccer coach.
