WAYNE – After having a fall schedule canceled due to COVID-19 last year, the Wayne State College women’s soccer team concluded their 18-game regular season schedule Friday afternoon.

Thanks to early first half goals, the visiting Augustana Vikings secured the 2-0 victory over WSC. The Vikings improved to 13-3-2 (12-1-2 NSIC) while the Wildcats ended their season at 6-8-4 (6-6-3 NSIC).
