The ThunderWolves battled to generate chances late, highlighted by shots from Jenna Elledge (Fr., Farmington, NM), Ruthie Landwehr (Fr., Enumclaw, Wash.) and Kenna Snyder (Fr., Edmond, Okla.), but were unable to break through.

CSU Pueblo finished with seven total shots, including one on target. Emporia State outshot the Pack 12-7 and held an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks.

In goal, Alva Hellenius (Fr., Stockholm, Sweden) worked the full 90 minutes and recorded four saves while facing 12 shots.

The Pack will now turn their attention to Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play.
