Emma’s PK leads ISU past Northern Colorado

Sports

August 20th, 2023 by admin

GREELEY, Colo. – Mira Emma was the difference on Sunday afternoon, as the fifth-year senior buried a penalty kick in the 50th minute to give Iowa State the edge, as it defeated Northern Colorado, 1-0, to begin the season 2-0 for the first time since 2015.

Iowa State was the aggressor in the first half, as the Cyclones outshot the Bears 8-2. Six of ISU’s eight shots were on target. However, Northern Colorado goalkeeper Kaya Lindberg stood out, making six saves. Three of Lindberg’s saves came on diving attempts as the Cyclones tested both the right and left side of the net.

It wasn’t ten minutes into the second half when Emma was fouled on the edge of the box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Cyclones. Emma took the kick and smashed a line drive into the right side of the net past a diving Lindberg to give the Cyclones an early 1-0 lead in the second half.

The Bears responded with an aggressiveness that wasn’t present in the first stanza of play. Northern Colorado outshot the Cyclones by three in the second period, sending seven shots the way of Avery Gillahan. Gillahan tallied one save on the afternoon, notching her first-ever career clean sheet.

Emma and fellow senior Salomé Prat each had three shots on the day as the senior duo was constantly pressuring the Bears. Six other Cyclones recorded a shot on the afternoon as ISU finished with 12 shots (seven on goal). Iowa State also had more corner kicks than UNCO, leading in that department 9-4.

Ella Ciardullo and Isabella Agrusso each made their Cyclone debut on Sunday afternoon, while Femke Pietersma made her first appearance of the 2023 campaign.

 

Fannon’s Thoughts 

“We put ourselves in a place in the second half where we had to battle because we weren’t ruthless enough in the first. But our ability to get the job done and win the game is what matters, and we were fully deserving.”

Iowa State:Mira Emma (50’)

Two People Injured in Union County Rollover Accident

News

August 20th, 2023 by Jim Field

Two people were injured in a single-vehicle rollover accident Friday night in Union County.

Deputies said 20 year old Garrett Neal Thomson of Creston was taken to Greater Regional Hospital in Creston by EMS with what were described as incapacitating injuries, while 18 year old Arya Autumn Sky Nunn of Creston was taken to the hospital suffering minor injuries.

A release from the Union County Sheriff’s Office states that the 2000 Honda Accord passenger van driven by Nunn was southbound on Clover Avenue and swerved to miss a deer in the road.  Nunn lost control and the van left the roadway, striking a ditch at an angle.  This caused the van to begin rolling over.  Deputies say the van traveled approximately 30 yards before coming to rest upside down.  Thomson was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected through the passenger side window.

August 20th, 2023 by Jim Field

A quick-acting Fremont County Secondary Roads employee saved the life of a child Friday Morning.  According to Fremont County Sheriff Kevin Aistrope,  Friday, August 18 at approximately 7:42 am, the Fremont County Sherriff’s Office received a 911 call about a possible drowning at the Waubonsie State Park.  The caller said a 5-year-old child was rescued from a pond at the park.

Deputies learned that Terry Travis, a Fremont County Secondary Roads Department employee was traveling through the park when he saw a small child standing on the dock at the Waubonsie Park pond alone.  Travis watched the child jump into the pond, and he took action.  Travis left his vehicle and ran toward the pond where he heard the child screaming and saw the child go under the water.  Travis reached into the water and pulled the child to safety.  The family, who had been looking for the child arrived on scene a short time later.  The child was checked by Sidney Rescue at the scene and transported by private vehicle to a Nebraska hospital for evaluation.

It was reported that the child, who is autistic, had wandered away from a cabin in the park.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office thanks Mr. Travis for his quick action and saving the life of this child.
