#1: Chase Miller vs. St. Thomas (MIAC Playoff Championship Game)

Let's set the scene. It was Saturday, November 8th, perfect blue skies, upper 40's, calm breeze and, despite being on the road at St. Thomas, in a stadium packed with our amazing Gustie Fans.

Now that the scene is set, let's talk about the real important stuff: We were twelve minutes into the second half, score still tied 0-0, when we earned our third corner kick of the game. First Year Chase Miller jogged over to take the corner; Emily Odermatt, Emily Skogseth, Jana Elliott, Brittany Chase along with others set up in the box as targets. But, they proved just to be decoys as Chase decisively curled her own corner kick directly into the back of net far post to put Gustavus up 1-0.




The goal held to be the game-winner over the final 33 minutes, clinching the program's first ever MIAC Playoff Championship and their seventh overall bid to the NCAA Tournament, first since 1998.

Thanks for tuning in to our Top Five Goal countdown for the 2015 season. There were so many great ones to choose from which made the voting extremely tight. Congrats to all who scored goals this year and here's to many more to come in the future!
