Strong Defense in 1-0 Loss

Gustie's Lose in a Tight Game with Bethel

The Gusties travelled to Arden Hills, MN today to face the Bethel Royals.  The first half was a battle, with both teams creating opportunities on net, but neither yielding a score.  The second half was a bit more one sided in the Royal's favor, with senior goalkeeper Jess Richert coming up with some tremendous saves to keep the margin at 0-0 for much of the second half.  It was a corner that eventually foiled the Gusties solid D, on a ball that was not cleared completely out of the box.  Again led by the goalkeeping of Jess Richert, the defense of Leah Brossoit, Nikki Carlson, Ana Gleason and Estee Berg held strong and limited Bethel's chances on net.  Leading the attack, Amanda Cartony continued to be dangerous, breaking free and finding Tam Meuwissen, Brit Chase and Maggie Lane up top.  A two-way midfield performance by Heather Goff, Liz Underwood, Kristin Moen, and Anna Street helped to maintain possession and thwart attacks by the Royals.


The Gustie's look to their next match up with University of Wisconsin Stout in Menominee, WI with a 7:00 p.m. kickoff.
