GALESBURG, Illinois—The Prairie Fire women's soccer team came through in overtime to remain perfect on the season.
Â
Knox (7-0) defeated Fontbonne when
Jessica Petersen (Brooklyn Park, MN, Champlin Park) broke away just minutes into overtime for a goal. It was her sixth goal of the season. The Griffins played spectacular defense to hold the Prairie Fire scoreless through two periods despite getting outshot 17-7 overall. Knox had some open looks throughout the game, but could not capitalize until the end.
Â
Goal keeper
Sierra Daniger (Colorado Springs, CO, Air Academy) notched four saves to earn the clean sheet, her fourth of the season.
Â
Knox will travel to Coe on Sunday to face perhaps their toughest matchup yet.
