Women’s soccer keeps the ball rolling
The Lady Bulldogs defeated the Concordia Cardinals and the Malone Pioneers last week and tied Findlay to improve their record to 7-2-1. With these two wins in the bag, the ladies have extended their winning streak to seven games.
Against Condordia, the Bulldogs got out to a slow 0-1 start. It wasn’t until the 32nd minute of regulation that Ferris State scored a goal of their own from junior defender Meredith Smith, tying the competition up and ultimately sending the game into two overtimes. From there, it was senior defender Hunter Dolan who brought the game to an end with her last minute goal, cementing a 2-1 victory.
In what looked like a repeat of Tuesday’s game, Malone scored a goal in early on the Bulldogs, putting Ferris down 0-1. Shortly after Malone’s goal, Bulldog senior forward Casey Shauman struck one into the back of the net to tie it up. It wasn’t until the end of the first half that freshman defender Erica Bartlett put in her first career goal to ensure the bulldogs 2-1 victory as the rest of the contest was scoreless.
Ferris tied Findlay 1-1 in double overtime in a game where Carley Dubbert scored the only goal for the Bulldogs in the 22nd minute. Women’s cross country runs away with a victory.
