OSHKOSH, Wis. (Oct. 30, 2019) - With their College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin schedule completed and a spot in the conference playoff clinched, the North Central College women's soccer team played deep into their bench on Wednesday evening in their non-conference finale against University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, ultimately dropping the contest by a 5-1 tally.

The Cardinals held the lead in shots by the half despite the four goal deficit, leading the Titans by a 10-8 margin.

A goalie change for the Cardinals in the second half proved to be effective as Emma Duncan came on in relief of starting goalkeeper Angel Biondo, saving four shots through the second 45 minutes of play, only allowing a single goal in the 79th minute of the game. The Cardinals were finally able to break into the scoring column in the 87th minute, with Aly Crum scoring her eighth goal of the season on an assist from Allyson Viederis.
