Siem and Duerr Goals Lift USF to DeMay’s First Win

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Sioux Falls women's soccer team gave first-year head coach Joe DeMay his first victory on the Cougar sideline, defeating Mount Marty 2-1 in Friday's season opener at Bob Young Field.

THE BASICS
Date: Friday, September 5, 2025
Score: Sioux Falls 2, Mount Marty 1
USF Goals: Mariah Siem (10'), Emma Duerr (40')

HOW IT HAPPENED
USF wasted little time establishing control. In the 10th minute, junior Mariah Siem opened the scoring with her first goal of the season, finishing off a feed from Martina Krattley after a well-worked corner kick sequence.

The Cougars doubled their advantage just before halftime. Emma Duerr slotted home in the 40th minute, converting a pass from Lily Dahler to make it 2-0. The goal stood as the game-winner.

Mount Marty pulled one back in the 78th minute when Mika Moreira found the back of the net, but the USF defense stood tall in the closing moments. Goalkeeper Morgan Jost recorded three saves across 90 minutes to preserve the win.

FROM THE COACH

"It's always good to get the season started with a win," said head coach Joe DeMay. "The team played well for long stretches and dominated possession. Even in the second half with the wind against us, we were still able to progress into the attacking half to create chances. It was also great to see the team apply the lessons we learned from last week's exhibition and put them into practice with quality and consistency."
