Point 3, University of Chicago 1
UW-Stevens
Point scored off three corner kicks to rally from a one-goal deficit for a
3-1 victory over the University of Chicago in non-conference women�s
soccer Thursday in Stevens Point.
After
the Maroons� Renee Neuner scored on a breakaway goal just three minutes
into the second half, the Pointers tied the match less than two minutes
later when Andrea Spiel�s corner kick was headed in the goal by a
Chicago defender for an own goal.
Just
seven minutes later the Pointers broke the tie on another corner kick by
Spiel as Molly Cady headed in the cross for a 2-1 lead. UW-Stevens Point
finished the scoring at the 76:50 mark when Jenny Bruce�s corner kick
was played out to defender Katie O�Leary, who sent a ball into the box
that deflected off Cady�s foot to Kelly Fink for a 3-1 lead.
The
Pointers held a deceiving 21-6 margin in shot attempts as Chicago had a
number of second half possessions and worked several balls into the
penalty box, but came away with just three shot attempts for the half.
Kortney Krill had two impressive first half saves to earn the victory in
goal for the Pointers.
The
win extended UW-Stevens Point�s home field unbeaten streak to 21
straight matches over the team that last beat the Pointers at home with a
1-0 win on Sept. 26, 2000. Oddly, the Pointers failed to score on 18
corner kick opportunities in that match, but tallied three times on 13
corner kicks on Thursday. UW-Stevens Point is now 40-3-1 in the 44 matches
since that most recent meeting with the Maroons.
The
Pointers host UW-Oshkosh in a Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference match on Tue., Sept. 24 at 4 p.m. at the Pointer Soccer Bowl.
