Aurora FC Wins 1st Game In Franchise History With 2-0 Victory Over Kaw Valley

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Following last week's home opener tie, the Minnesota Aurora FC has won its first game in its franchise history.

Aurora took on Kaw Valley Thursday evening. In the first half, Mariah Nguyen broke through the Kaw Valley defense and passed to Jelena Zbilij for a tap-in goal, giving Aurora a 1-0 lead going into halftime.

"We had a lot of scoring opportunities in this game and it definitely felt good to take advantage of two of them and put them away," said head coach Nicole Lukic.

In the second half, Morgan Stone scored, sealing the club's first-ever USL W League victory.

Late last month, Aurora announced a partnership with WCCO TV to stream all home matches on the station's digital platform, CBS News Minnesota. The free, livestream service is available to fans on the CBS News app and Pluto TV.
