Recap
Roster

MARION, Ind. - No. 17 Women's soccer earned their second win in a row after a 1-0 win over Grace College. It was a low scoring affair full of defense and back and forth pressure but IWU held strong to pull out the win. The lone goal of the game came from Mackenzie Minney in the 73rd minute. The Wildcat defense pulled together to keep the Lancers shutout and Avery Sluss played a great game in goal. IWU continues league play this Saturday against Goshen.

WHAT HAPPENED

Neither team could find the net in the first half as both sides played stout defense.
Mackenzie Minney scored her first goal of the year assisted by Katelyn VanderArk in the 73rd minute to give IWU the 1-0 lead.
Late in the second half, the Wildcats would score what they thought to be their second goal but was ultimately called off by the refs after a foul. However, IWU would overcome the momentum shift and completed the shutout win.

NOTABLE NUMBERS

1: Mackenzie Minney scored her first goal of the year after spending some time out from an injury at the beginning of the season.
4: Avery Sluss made four saves to shutout the Lancers.
6: IWU would take 6 crucial corner kicks to keep the pressure on Grace.

SEIFFERT PERSPECTIVE

"I'm really proud of the way our team competed tonight," said Head Coach Daniel Seiffert. "It has been such a cool thing to see different players stepping up each game when called upon. Every single girl on this team is giving their all to whatever is needed and and asked of them and it makes it a complete joy to be a part of a group who genuinely love each other and love competing for each other."
