Nuccio’s Late Match Heroics Lift Valpo Past Cleveland State
Mikki Nuccio’s (Ortonville, Mich./Brandon H.S.) goal with just 2:28 remaining in the match gave Valparaiso a 1-0 Horizon League victory over Cleveland State on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon at Eastgate Field.
With the match scoreless for more than 87 minutes, Trisha Wladecki (Avon Lake, Ohio/Avon Lake H.S.) won a ball near the end line in the far corner, and sent a service into the middle of the box. Rachel Hoaglin (Lakeville, Minn./Academy of Holy Angels H.S.) got a touch on the ball, but it went through to Nuccio in the center of the box and she found the upper-netting for the lone goal of the day. For the senior, it was her second goal of the year, both of which have resulted in match-winners.
