| 09.20.05 - The
Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats buried the Foresters early with five goals
in the first half handing HU its first conference loss by a score of
5-1. The match started off
with a bang with IWU scoring in the second minute and the
Foresters answering back just a minute later. HU’s goal was
scored by Sarah Kaufman who latched on to a cross from Rachel Jones
and shot it past the keeper. But after the initial fireworks, the
Foresters played flat and IWU pounded the HU net with four more goals
to take a 5-1 lead at halftime.
In the second half Huntington
came out determined to make a better showing. They were unable to
score but they were able to keep the Wildcats in check by playing with
much more determination.
“ We need to gain an identity as a team," said
Coach Datema. "I think we learned in the second half that we can
play if we put our minds to it.”
Huntington now stands at 2-4 on the year
and 1-1 in the MCC conference. |
