Livonia, MI. - The Madonna University Women's Soccer Reserves competed in the Madonna Reserves Tournament on Sunday at the Madonna Athletics Complex.  Unfortunately, Siena Heights was unable to participate due to Covid Protocols so the tournament feature a 3 team slate.  Madonna took on UNOH in the semi-final and the winner would face Aquinas in the final.  Aquinas receive a bye due to regular season results.
 
 HOW IT HAPPENED

• MU 4 vs UNOH 1 (1:30 PM)
  • Madonna controlled the game from the outset and had the majority of the chances in the first half.
  • A pair of goals by Destiny Carr and one by Melanie Porter put the Crusaders up 3-0 at the half.
  • UNOH would answer back with a late goal to cut the Crusader lead to 2.
  • MU finished off the scoring with a final goal by Melanie Porter in the 85^th minute to cap the win with a 4-1 final score.

 

• MU 0 vs AQ 1  (4:00 PM)
  • With a short turnaround between matches, the Crusaders came out of the gate looking like they had already played a match against a fresh Aquinas side.
  • The match was very even from the start with both teams earning chances, but the match would head into the half still knotted at 0-0.
  • Aquinas' Jenna Daschke would finally break the stalemate in the 75^th minute with an unassisted goal to give the Saints a 1-0 lead.
  • Daschke's goal would prove the game winner as several late chances by the Crusaders would fail to net the tying goal.

UP NEXT

• The 2^nd place finish for the tournament runs Madonna's record to 3-3-1 on the season.
• The Crusaders last reserve game of the season will take place on Monday, April 5 at 4:30 pm at Delta College.
