Box Score NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind.
- It was a rematch of Thursday night's football
game, with the same result, as the Trine women's soccer
team defeated Manchester 1-0. The Thunder are now 1-1 on the
season.
Trine earned their first win of the season on the
back of senior goalkeeper Jen Wall (New Haven, Ind./New Haven) who
made seven saves to earn the shutout victory.
Just 12 minutes into the first period, it was
sophomore Alyssa Goodnight (Atlanta, Ind./Hamilton Heights) who
found fellow sophomore Kristin Elliott (Wooster, Ohio/Wooster) from
20 yards out, where she buried it in the right corner of the net.
Although that would be all the scoring in the game, both sides had
several opportunities throughout the match to find the back of the
net.
In the opening half Wall was able to turn away
four Spartan shots on goal. In the second half, both sides had
their chances to score but both goalies played solid turning away
several goal opportunities.
The Trine defense played stellar as they did not
allow Manchester to take a single corner kick. The Thunder tallied
13 total shots compared to just eight for the Spartans. Both teams
had seven shots on goal for the game.
Trine will return home where they will celebrate
Labor Day by hosting Anderson University for 5:00 p.m. start.
