BRIEFLY: THIELE AMONG NCAA LEADERS

Southeast Missouri State soccer forward Nichole Thiele, a senior from Cape Girardeau, is among the NCAA leaders in points per game and goals per game after five Otahkian games this season.

Through Sept. 10, Thiele is ranked 13th in points per game (3.00) and 16th in goals per game (1.25).

In Southeast's last game, Thiele scored her sixth and seventh goals of the season, which tied her season goals record set in the Otahkians' inaugural season of soccer in 1999.
