| 08.30.06 - The
Foresters (1-1) rallied for a 3-2 win over the Indiana Tech Warriors
to record their first win of the season.
The Warriors took the early lead with a goal at the 16 minute mark,
and headed to the break with the 1-0 lead still intact. "I felt
we came out a bit sluggish in the first half," remarked Coach Nathan
Sharpe. "During halftime we talked about winning 50/50's,
possessing the ball, and looking for chances to send our forwards on
through balls. When we did those things, it paid off for us."
It was a through ball from senior
Ashley Gonterman that got HU the equalizer seven minutes into the
second half. Freshman Colleen Knox finished off the assist with
a great shot on the near post. The Foresters finished their
scoring on two set plays. The first, played in by Gonterman,
allowed HU to apply enough pressure that it deflected off a defender's
head into the net. Junior Hannah Kaufman took advantage on
a direct kick putting the ball over the wall and into the upper part
of the near post.
The Foresters then held off a late Tech
rally, but not before the Warriors made it interesting with a goal
with six minutes left. "I was pleased with the heart and effort
at the end of the game," said Sharpe. "The team really gutted it
out and they deserved the win."
HU had 13 shots on goal for the game
and Tech had 12.
