Go 1-1 on Ohio Trip
UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – The Saginaw Valley State University
women’s soccer team returned home from their Ohio road trip
with a 1-1 record. The Cardinals suffered a tough 2-0 loss on Saturday
at the hands of the Ashland Eagles, while they rebounded with a
4-3 overtime win over Findlay on Sunday.
Ashland controlled the game from start
to finish on Saturday, scoring both goals in the first half. Alyssa
Albert scored at 26:47, while Renee Kozma scored at 34:49. Both
goals were assisted by Ursula Staneff. Sophomore Stacy LaLond
(Cheboygan, Mich.) handled the goalkeeper duties
for the Cardinals, allowing two goals out of ten shots on goal.
The Cardinals managed only two shots on goal for the entire game.
The Cardinals rebounded on Sunday
with a scintillating, comeback win over Findlay. The Oilers scored
the game's first three goals, beginning with Julie Becker's unassisted
goal just 5:42 into the game. Jessica Booth scored at 12:59 and
again at 40:30, assisted by Kaley Hedric and Corie Moore, respectively.
The Cardinals finally got on the board at 40:58 on an Amber
Brick (Midland, Mich.) goal that was assisted
by Kelly Pruitt (Shelby, Twp., Mich./Eisenhower)
and allowed the Cardinals to go into halftime trailing only 3-1.
The second half was scoreless until Pruitt scored an unassisted
goal at 68:34 to make it 3-2. Brick then tied the game at 86:53
on another unassisted goal that tied the game and eventually sent
the game to overtime. In overtime, junior Ashleigh Burke
(Saginaw, Mich./Heritage) booted in the game winner
at 97:51 on an assist from Julie Connor (East
Lansing, Mich.). LaLond went the distance in net and stopped
13 of the 16 shots she faced to earn the victory.
The games marked the final two games
of the season for the SVSU. The Cardinals' final record stands at
9-4 (5-3 GLIAC).
