INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana Wesleyan women’s soccer fell short Wednesday, losing 2-1 to No. 15 Marian in the Crossroads League Tournament Quarterfinals. The Knights jumped out to an early lead scoring in the 15th minute. 

IWU made some halftime adjustments, freeing up Lexis Garcia in the 61st minute for a game-tying goal. With just eight minutes remaining, the IWU eighteen turned into a scrum off of a Knight free kick. Courtney Denney would find the loose ball netting her second goal of the evening, giving the Knights the 2-1 victory.

SEIFFERT PERSPECTIVE  

• Tonight was a tough tough night.  I’m so proud of our team and the fight that they possessed.  First half was not a good start for us, but we came out second half and battled! We played well enough to win, but unfortunately, the ball did not bounce our way this evening.
• I’m so impressed with this team and the senior leadership that has been demonstrated by each and every one of the nine seniors! Tristen, Tia, Alex, Julianna, Snu, Megan, Grace, Alexis, and Karen, have truly demonstrated what it means to be a Wildcat, what it means to play with freedom and joy, and what it means to give 100% effort, 100% focus, and playing 100% for God! Their legacy will be remembered!”

NEXT TIME ON THE PITCH

• IWU ends the 2018 season with a record of 10-7-1.
