The Nebraska soccer team took only one shot on goal and fell, 3-0, to the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday afternoon in Evanston, Ill. The Huskers moved to 5-3-5 (0-3-3 Big Ten) on the season, while Northwestern improved to 5-2-6 (1-1-4 Big Ten). 

Nebraska was at a disadvantage in shots (7-13), shots on goal (1-6) and corner kicks (6-7). The Big Red only logged three saves and was called for 19 fouls to Northwestern’s nine. 

Carson Bohonek took a team-high three shots for the Huskers, while Ava Makovicka was responsible for Nebraska’s lone shot on target. Cece Villa (4-3-5) played all 90 minutes in goal and had two saves.

The Big Red was held to just two shots in the first half, both taken by Bohonek, and seven over the course of the match. 

Nebraska’s best scoring opportunity of the game came in the 63rd minute after a free kick and cross. Bohonek’s shot hit the crossbar and Sadie Sant’s went just over, resulting in a goal kick for the Wildcats.
