Following Friday’s match against Northern Colorado, the Bison are still searching for their first goal of the season. NDSU’s run without a goal stretched to seven games after falling to the Bears 2-0 in Greeley, Colorado.

Erica Estes used her head to put Northern Colorado in front after 26 minutes. After NDSU defender Mallory Fenske was booked for a foul, Estes got on the end of the ensuing free kick to put it past keeper Julia Edelstein.

The Bears put the game away in the 89th minute. Cara Quinn slotted home her first goal of the year to make it 2-0.

The Bears outshot the Bison 24-8 in the match, including 10-4 on shots on target.

Roxy Roemer tallied three shots, all on target, to lead the Bison offensively.

NDSU wrapped up a seven game road trip at Colorado State Sunday. The Bison return home Sunday to play Utah Valley.
