MENOMONIE (September 1, 2018) - After an early shot on goal, UW-Stout could not get into an offensive rhythm and were defeated 3-0 by St. Catherine University Saturday at Nelson Field.
Just minutes into the game, Stout (1-1-0) freshman
Marissa Steele attacked the net, but was stopped by Wildcat (1-0-0) goalie Tayler Koop. Shortly thereafter, St. Catherine scored their first goal of the game when a corner kick by Iryna Talkachova deflected into the net in the seventh minute of the game.
