The Wisconsin Lutheran College women's soccer team fell in its
Northern Athletics Conference-opening match Wednesday against
Edgewood 4-0 at Warrior Field.
The Warriors and Eagles played to a 0-0 tie in the opening half
despite Edgewood holding a 15-1 advantage in shots through the
first 45 minutes of action. Warriors goalkeeper Kate Gucinski
(Appleton, Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran) was very strong in the net in
the period as she made five saves to keep the contest
scoreless.
The Eagles (2-1-0, 1-0-0 NAC) came out strong in the second half,
however, scoring twice in the opening five minutes on unassisted
goals from Emily Berns and Elaine Gerry for a 2-0 lead.
The 2-0 score would hold until the 80:10 mark when Kristina Santaga
added the Eagles' third goal of the night off a pass from Erin
Peterson. Gerry then scored the fourth and final goal of the
evening with under a minute left in regulation off an Emily Dorsett
pass for the 4-0 EC advantage.
Guciniski finished the night with eight saves for WLC, while
Edgewood goalkeeper Kristi Frisch stopped the only shot she
faced.
Santaga led all players with eight shots, while WLC's Nicole
DiSalvo (Waterford, Wis./Waterford) and Mandy Schnell (Milwaukee,
Wis./Martin Luther) each tallied a shot for Wisconsin Lutheran.
Wisconsin Lutheran (1-2-1, 0-1-0 NAC) returns to action next
Tuesday when it hosts Dominican (1-2-0, 0-0-0 NAC) at Warrior
Field. The matchup between the Warriors and Stars is set to begin
at 7 p.m.
