Box Score CHANUTE, Kan. – Raysha Claibourne recorded a career high 12 saves but it was not enough as Neosho dropped their first match of the season 4-1 to visiting NOC-Tonkawa.
 
In the opening minutes, Tonkawa looked to establish dominance. They kept a steady and unrelenting attack up until the fourteenth minute when they would come up with a goal.

The Panthers would eventually slow the attack in the thirtieth minute. Following a foul, Neosho's Katlin Moran launched a volley from far beyond the keeper's box. Tonkawa's keeper would tip it enough to look like a save, but the ball would soon find its mark in the back of the net and tie the match at 1-1.

Through the thirty-ninth minute, the ball would remain relatively neutral until another goal by Tonkawa. The goal would prove to be the last of the half, ending with a score of 2-1 in favor of the Mavericks.
 
Tonkawa opened the second half in possession, and wanted to quickly capitalize. The Panthers would do their best to defend, but Tonkawa added another score in the forty-eighth minute. They would continue to establish a comfortable lead in the sixty-third minute with their fourth goal of the match, making the score 4-1. The score would hold until the final whistle.

The Panthers fall to 2-1-0 on the season with the loss. Their next action will be Saturday, September 6 when they host Northeastern Oklahoma A&M.
