- The Foresters opened MCC play with a 4-1
loss to Spring Arbor University.
Although HC struck first when Heather O'Keefe
took a pass from Sarah Kaufman and scored just
18 seconds into the match, the NAIA Region
VIII #3-ranked Cougars proved to be too much
for HC over the long haul. With the Foresters
up 1-0, Spring Arbor responded quickly with
the equalizer in the 8th minute and
then took the lead in the 23rd
minute. In the last twenty minutes of the
first half HC gambled and tried to rest six
starters for the second half, but the Cougars
took advantage with just 30 seconds to go to
take a 3-1 half time lead. In the second half,
the Foresters were unable to mount much
of an attack and Spring Arbor added its fourth
goal at the 52nd minute mark to
complete the scoring. "We gave a lot of
effort out there today, but SAU is such a
quality team from top to bottom," said
Coach Datema. "I was pleased with how
some of our players competed today though.
Freshmen Jennifer Stern had her hands full at
right back all day long but she never quit.
That’s the kind of effort we need.”
HC drops to 3-4 on the season and 0-1 in the
MCC. |
