The Eastern women’s soccer team had just two shots in Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Northern Illinois, dropping the Panthers to an 0-2 start for 2013.

After a 0-0 halftime score, the Huskies scored their first goal just minutes into the second half. Sophomore forward Nicole Gabbo scored in the 51st minute to give the Huskies a 1-0 edge. The Bartlett native scored two goals last season for Northern.

Northern’s next two goals came within just a few minutes of each other, as senior Frances Boukidis scored in the 67th minute, while freshman midfielder Jess Wooldridge would score in the 69th minute on an assist from junior Allie McBride.

Red-shirt freshman Kylie Morgan made her first career start for the Panthers. Morgan made four saves. Senior Amy Carr recorded the shutout for Northern.

The Panthers were outshot 17-2 by the Huskies. Sophomore Karlee Deacon had a shot on goal in the first half, while freshman Emily Wolf registered one shot in the second.

The Panthers (0-2) will head to Green Bay, Wisc., next weekend to participate in the Green Bay Phoenix Tournament. Eastern will take on Northern Iowa (0-2) at 2:00 p.m. Friday and Green Bay (0-0-1) at 2:00 p.m. Sunday.
