Box Score SALT LAKE CITY – The Westminster College women's soccer team won for the second straight game with a 2-1 defeat of Midland (Neb.) in the rain at Dumke Field on Sunday afternoon.

Westminster (3-3) would get on the board in the 40th minute with a penalty kick from Nicole Carter. The Griffins earned the penalty when Madison Roemer was taken down in the Midland (2-2-2) penalty area. It was the first goal of the season for Carter and the first Westminster goal on a PK since 2011.

After dominating the first half with a 10-0 edge in shots and leading 1-0 at the break, the Griffins would see the lead reach 2-0 in the 75th minute. After a 50/50 ball deflected to the feet of Lexi Tucker, she carried into the penalty area and put a shot into the side netting for her second goal of the season.

Midland would find a goal in the 84th minute as Regan Jones played a ball to Celia Williams on a breakaway. Williams would then put a shot from 5 yards away into the net to cut the deficit to just 2-1.

The Griffins finished the afternoon with 15 shots and they put nine of them on goal. They limited Midland to just five second half shots with three of those on target. Each team was whistled for nine fouls and Westminster took six corner kicks to just two by the Warriors.

Tucker led all players with five shots and four on goal. She was credited with the game-winning goal for the second straight game. Jamie Wilkinson earned the victory in net behind her two saves.

Westminster will return to action on Friday when they travel to Columbia, Ky. to a neutral site contest with Martin Methodist (Tenn.) at 4 p.m.
