Women’s Soccer drops heartbreak in extra time to Golden Eagles

THE BASICS

LIVONIA , Mich.– The Madonna University women's soccer team closed out their 2020-21 home regular season with their match against the Golden Eagles of Cornerstone University on Monday afternoon. 

Following the game today the Crusaders sit with the fourth seed in Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference play with their final game being played tomorrow. The Crusaders have clinched a first round home playoff game in the WHAC, which will be played on Saturday April 3. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The game was pretty even throughout the first half as both teams had solid opportunities in each half of the field. 
  • Cornerstone struck first in the game in the ninth minute of the game when Kylie Adams headed the ball into the bottom right corner off of a corner kick. 
  • The Crusaders looked as if they had tied the game in the 25th minute back was called off due to a Madonna offside. 
  • Madonna would end up tying it up in the final minute of the half when Julieann White missed a shot, but Grace Thomas was right there to put the ball into the back of the net to tie it up. 
  • The only action the second half, as the game went into overtime, saw were a couple solid shots that were just missed from Madonna's Abby Werthman and Sydnie Voss as they were able to get solid shots off but not in net. 
  • Madonna once again controlled the overtime period but in the 100th minute of the game the defense had a hand ball which gave the Golden Eagles the opportunity for a free kick from 30 yards out near the sideline. Mya Capado took the kick and put it just high enough and out of reach for the Crusaders goalie to save for the win.  
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • The Crusaders would dominate the shots column as they were able to outshoot the Golden Eagles 25-4 overall and 10-3 in shots on net. 
  • Madonna was able to keep the pressure on their offensive side of the field as they tallied six corner kicks to the Cornerstone's three.
  • Seven Blue and Gold players tallied shots in the afternoon game as they were led by Megan Verant with eight. 
UP NEXT
  • The Crusaders will be back on the pitch tomorrow afternoon, March 30 when they travel to Pontiac for a match against Rochester University with the kickoff happening at 3pm.
