Aurora FC beats St. Louis Lions 4-1 for 8th straight win
EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Aurora FC remains undefeated and in first place in its division after a 4-1 win over the St. Louis Lions on Sunday.
Three different Aurora players -- Morgan Stone, Mariah Nguyen and Morgan Turner -- scored in the match; two goals came on penalty kicks in the first half.
"So many players have points which is impressive. That's helped build our confidence -- that anybody on the team can score at any time," head coach Nicole Lukic said. "Lots of quality minutes for lots of players today."
The Lions' lone goal came off of the foot of Krystal Kohenskey, their leading scorer on the season.
Aurora FC is in pole position for a playoff spot with just three games left in the regular season. They lead their division with 25 points, with the Green Bay Glory in second with 17.
