MOORHEAD, Minn. – Minnesota State Moorhead soccer fell victim to a strong second half effort from visiting Northern State on Friday. The Dragons fell to the Wolves, 4-1. 
 
Northern State would get the offense started with a shot on goal late in the third minute which was saved by goalkeeper Quinn Carter. The Wolves would have another chance on the net in the 10^th minute that was also stopped by Carter. Moorhead would get its first shot on the net in the 14^th minute off the foot of Brooklyn Broderick. 
 
While the Wolves would get another shot on net in the 20^th minute, it was the Dragons who would break the scoreless tie. Abby Toso would deliver a lovely cross into the box that connected with the head of a streaking Lilly Johnson. The impressive header landed on the left side of the net for the senior's first goal of the season. Northern State would swiftly respond with a header goal of their own not even a minute later. The teams would carry the 1-1 tie into the halftime break. 
 
It was the Wolves who would control much of the second half as the visitors would get a goal in the 67^th minute. While MSUM would register shots, none would find the target as the Wolves defense tightened up. Northern State would put the finishing touches on the match with a pair of goals late in the match. The Wolves converted on chances in the 87^th and 88^th minutes to secure the 4-1 win.
