MARYVILLE, Mo. - The Bearcat soccer team looks to return to their winning ways when they host Missouri Southern Thursday afternoon.

Northwest (3-2-2, 1-0 MIAA) matches up against the Missouri Southern Lions (0-6-1, 0-1 MIAA) Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m.  The Bearcats are coming off of a 4-0 loss to the twelfth-ranked Central Missouri Jennies in which Northwest was outshot 25-5 while Missouri Southern is also coming off of a 3-0 loss to conference powerhouse Central Missouri.  It was the third time this season that the Lions were shutout.
