A goal in the 29th minute
from Mindy Perry was all the Foresters needed to take the 1-0 win over
Goshen College in their final regular season game. Shannon Holly made
a nice move down the left wing and beat a defender to the inside
before slotting a pass to Perry for the score.
Huntington had several opportunities to
increase its lead, out-shooting the Maple Leafs 24-6, but the Goshen
defense played hard and the Goshen keeper, Amy Clem, had an
outstanding game to keep the Maple Leafs within striking distance.
In the second half Goshen
came out strong in the first 20 minutes, but the Foresters began to
assert control and cruised the rest of the way for the win.
“Goshen can lull you to sleep and make you pay
with a quick strike, said Coach Datema. "I was pleased with how
we were able to stay focused and prevent that. Shannon Holly had a
great game in midfield and Ashley Gonterman was strong from the
stopper position.
The Foresters close out the regular
season 6-8-1 overall and 3-4-1 in the MCC. They will need to await the
results of other conference games to find out where they open the
conference tournament on Saturday. |
