MOORHEAD, Minn. – The Yellowjacket women's soccer team hit the road for the first time in 2024 Saturday, when they crossed the state of Minnesota for a date with Concordia College.
The start to the 2024 season has provided one of the most difficult season-opening schedules in program history, with the first five matches coming against three Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) and two Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) foes.
Heading into Saturday, the Yellowjackets had dropped two in a row and were hoping to avoid a three-match losing streak for the first time since Sept. 23-25, 2019. Concordia was part of that streak, and unfortunately, they are now part of a second one for the Yellowjackets.
Superior fell behind early in the first half and never recovered, falling 3-0 to the Cobbers in a match where the 'Jackets never seemed to find their collective footing.
The Yellowjackets now sit 2-4-0 overall in 2024.
