Five Roos played a full 90 minutes in the loss

BROOKINGS, S.D. — The decision came early between Kansas City Women's Soccer (6-4-3) and South Dakota State (8-2-1) with the Jackrabbits finding the back of the net in the first minute and ultimately walking away with a 1-0 win. The Roos looked to battle back with a handful of chances on corners and set pieces but could not find the equalizing goal. Maddie Sibbing fought off seven shots to hold the Jackrabbits to just one goal in the match.
