MARION, Ind. – Indiana Wesleyan Club Women's Soccer closes out their regular season with a tough loss to a well-matched opponent from Indianapolis. This game was a return game for the Wildcats, as IWU and Marian have built a strong connection for their reserve teams.

THE ESSENTIALS

• Location: Marion, Indiana
• Records: IWU: 0-4

FIRST HALF

• This was an exciting rematch for the Wildcats, but it was spoiled by a few early goals from MU. IWU continued to push through the continuous attack, with many moments of build-up from the backline.
• MU continued to rip shots from outside the 18, leaving the first half with the score of 0-4.
• The Wildcats held on until halftime to catch a rest and evaluate the next steps to gain attack and push back.

SECOND HALF

• The Wildcats came back in the second half to make it better than the first, but focused on enjoying the beautiful game of soccer rather than the scoreline.
• They switched to a slightly different formation, allowing more possession in their defensive half, with a few moments of forward movement.
• MU continued to shoot from afar, leaving the final score to be 0-7, 0-3 in the second half.

KEY WILDCATS

• Alivia Kizer: A junior and a captain supported the team by switching between outside back and winger, both positions in which she performed well.
• Ella Miller: A freshman CB who worked immensely hard for all 90 minutes, with great distribution for the Wildcats.

LOOKING AHEAD

• The Wildcats will look to join in the first-ever reserve tournament that has both Crossroad League reserve teams and WHAC reserve teams. A potential game will be in the works for Friday, October 16th, either at Cornerstone or Huntington!
