Bulldog’s soccer suffers setback against Lakers
Ferris State women’s soccer battled longtime foe in defending national champion, Grand Valley State, but came up short in 3-2 loss on Saturday night.
The Bulldogs (1-3-1) battled hard in the Saturday contest, keeping the game in front of them and not falling behind early on like many of the Lakers’ (4-1) contestants. Ferris matched wits with Grand Valley, keeping the game tied at 1-1 heading into the second half. The point scored was on the goal by junior forward, Nichole Boehnke.
Back-to-back goals by the Lakers Marti Corby late in the first half and early in the second put Grand Valley up 2-1. Ferris would answer back immediately, with junior forward Casey Shauman putting one in the net only one minute later to tie the contest back up.
The Lakers pulled ahead late in the second half, though; as Colby starred in this showing with her third goal on the night to end the Dawgs fight.
Ferris next travels to Walsh University on Sept. 26 with the match-up slated to start at 7 p.m.
