vs. North Oklahoma College - Tonkawa
Iowa Western: 6
North Oklahoma College - Tonkawa: 4


IWCC tallied another win beating Northern Oklahoma College 6-4 pushing their season record to 8-0-1.

IWCC had a hard time finding a rhythm through out the first half. IWCC's Canada Clawson found the frame in the 4th minute. Fifteen minutes later NOC tied the game up 1-1. IWCC answered to NOC's goal in the 23rd minute when Lyndie Heaps dropped a pass to Michelle Allen who drilled the ball 25 yards out over NOC's keeper's reach, pushing the Reivers up 2-1. In the last two minutes of the first half the NOC Mavs found the back of the net twice due to poor organization and communication around the Reiver's goal.

In the second half, IWCC showed no mercy and went hard at the Mavs. The Reivers were awarded with a free kick after midfielder Michelle Allen got fouled a few yards outside of the Mavs penalty area. Chamea Palmer took the free kick, hitting the crossbar and finally settling in the back of the net tying the match at 3-3. In the 53rd minute IWCC goalkeeper Kelci Little made a save, but had a foul called against her resulting in a penalty kick for the Mavs. The Mavs scored and advanced the score 4-3. IWCC showed some great character and heart coming back in the 66th and 75th minutes with goals from Clawson and Palmer, both goals assisted by Ellie Stimpson, pushing the Reivers ahead 5-4. In the 87th minute Canada Clawson secured the win over NOC Mavs when she buried the ball with her head into the Mavs net off a crossed ball from Palmer, resulting in the final score of 6-4.
