Although the Foresters fell 2-0 to Indiana Wesleyan in their final
regular season match, they got some help from Marian to grab the final
spot in the MCC tournament. The Marian College Knights knocked
off Grace on Saturday giving HU the tiebreak to secure the eighth
seed. The Foresters will play top-seeded Bethel College in
Mishawaka on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.
Against the Wildcats, HU put together a
solid effort against one of the MCC's top scoring offenses which is
averaging close to three goals per game. The Foresters kept IWU
in check for 40 minutes before a defensive breakdown allowed the
Wildcats their first goal. The second half went much the same.
HU's defense kept them in the game, but the offense couldn't come up
with the equalizer. IWU finally put the game out of reach with a
goal with two minutes left to play.
"I was very pleased with our back line
and goal keeping play," said Coach Lawson. "We were disciplined
in the back, which enabled us to keep the game close."
The Foresters conclude their regular
season schedule with a record of 4-13 overall and 1-7 in conference
play. |
