Fargo, ND - North Dakota State's relentless offensive attack finally cracked the scoreboard in the 78th minute to give the Bison a 1-0 United Soccer Conference match win over IPFW on Sunday.
Freshman midfielder Lorraine Thompson was well inside the Mastodons box and chipped a shot low to the left hand corner for the game winner.
It was Thompson's fifth goal of the season.
The loss was the second-in-a-row for IPFW in USC play.
IPFW's conference record is now 1-2 which will give them the #3 seed in the West for the upcoming USC tournament.
Senior goal keeper Shannon Lynn did everything she could to keep IPFW in the match. She stopped 12 Bison shots on goal.
With the win, the Bison secure the top Western seed in the conference tournament. South Dakota State will get the #2 seed, while Utah Valley State will be seeded fourth.
The Mastodons have three matches remaining in the regular season.
The 'Dons will travel to Wright State and Cleveland State next Friday and Sunday and host future Mid-Con opponent Southern Utah on Saturday, October 28.
