MSU men capture KIAC crown; women play today

COLLEGE SOCCER

Mountain State University 1, Asbury College 0

Ali Katrib scored in the 82nd minute to lift the Cougars, not only to the win, but to the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular season championship.

Katrib took a free kick from 35 yards out. The ball curved around Asbury’s defensive wall and bounced off the keeper’s hands into the goal.

MSU (10-4-0, 4-0 KIAC) held a 4-3 edge in shots on goal and 8-2 on corner kicks.

“We played 65 minutes in their half of the field,” coach John Birkelbach said. “This was a huge result.”

MSU will host the KIAC tournament Nov. 7-8.
