GEORGETOWN, Texas – The DePauw Tigers needed just one goal
to steal a victory from the Southwestern University women’s
soccer team on Friday afternoon. The loss drops the Pirates to
7-5-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the SCAC while the Tigers improve to
5-5-4 overall and 3-1-2 in the conference.
The first half saw the Pirates start out in typical fashion,
attacking early and maintaining constant pressure. Junior Amy
Douglas had a couple of good opportunities after feeds from
teammates, but was double-teamed and unable to maneuver past the
defenders to get a solid shot on goal.
SU took two more shots (4-2) and two more corners (2-0) than the
Tigers but the first-half would come to an end 0-0.
DePauw came out on the attack in the second half, taking the first
four shots of the half including the lone goal of the match in the
52nd minute. The Tigers' Julia Drummond chipped one past senior
keeper Cheryl Duncan from 25 yards out and snuck it inside the left
post to give DePauw the 1-0 lead.
Southwestern was able to get the ball in front of DePauw’s
goal numerous times in the second half with their best look coming
from senior A.J. Andreola who drilled one from 20 yards out that
careened off the post, ending the SU threat.
The Pirates had nine shots to DePauw’s 12 and had three more
corners (4-1) than the Tigers. Duncan recorded four saves on the
afternoon while DePauw’s Caroline Kerr had six saves in the
shutout.
Southwestern rebounds with another home conference match on Sunday
against third place Centre College. Game time is slated for 12:30
following the men’s match.
