In women’s action, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ (1-9-2) struggled to contain the Roughriders’ high-powered offense, resulting in a large deficit early. Crowder College’s defense proved to be the difference throughout the contest, preventing Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ from attempting shots on goal as the Roughriders completed the regular-season sweep.

Against the Roughriders, the Nighthawk men (11-1-2) fell behind early and could not complete the comeback. On a mission to avenge Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµâ€™s 2-0 victory over the Roughriders earlier this month, Crowder College took a two-goal lead in the first 20 minutes, which sent the Nighthawks into catch-up mode for the remainder of the contest. Freshman winger Ali Muganga (Nashville, Tennessee) cut the deficit in half with 18 minutes to play, but Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ ran out of time in its rally attempt, snapping the team’s seven-game winning streak.

The Nighthawks will celebrate sophomore night on its home finale Sunday, October 22 at Hot Springs World Class High School against University of Arkansas-Cossatot, beginning with women’s action at 3 p.m. Each Nighthawk team can win its respective NJCAA Region 2 championships with wins or draws in the match. The sophomore night matches will be streamed live on the Nighthawk Network.
