    There was no way Kendall Hemperley was letting the Northwestern State soccer team lose the ‘Fork Cancer’ game.

    The freshman from Katy, Texas, created the first goal on a cross that resulted in an own goal, helping lead the Demons (8-3-3, 3-1-1) to a 2-0 home victory over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (3-7-4, 1-3-2) on Thursday evening at the Demon Soccer Complex.
