KU beats MU 1-0 in sudden death in NCAA women’s soccer tourney

LAWRENCE

After 101 minutes and no score between Kansas and Missouri in the first round of the NCAA women’s soccer tournament, Jayhawks forward Lois Heuchan found herself in a sliver of space.

Grace Hagan had just chipped a short cross to Heuchan in the box. Heuchan hesitated a moment, shuffled the ball to her right foot, and sent a strike into the top right corner of the net.

Raising her arms, Heuchan slid across the turf on her knees, laid back and let about a dozen teammates pile on top of her. The 101st-minute goal ended the second sudden-death overtime period against Missouri on Saturday at Rock Chalk Park, and sent Kansas’ team into a frenzy.
