#2: Hannah Sturtz vs. St. Ben's

It was October 14th, we were 5-1 in the MIAC and heading to St. Ben's, a consistently top team in not only the conference but the region.  We knew the game was going to be a battle and we were not let down.  After possessing the ball well for most of the game, but being unable to break the zero-zero deadlock, it looked as if overtime was inevitable.  In the 84th minute, the St. Ben's goalkeeper sent a punt down the field.  First Year Trina Rinke won the header, with classmate Emily Skogseth picking up the second ball and immediately turning and dribbling at speed at their backline.  The St. Ben's defense collapsed around her, but somehow even off-balanced, she was able to get a pass off to Sophomore Hannah Sturtz just inside the box centrally.  With a defender coming from her left, Hannah used her first touch to set up her shot, which she blasted into the far post side-netting.  As the ball struck the net, the team went crazy.

  If you watch the video below you will understand why this goal was voted #2 for our 2015 season.



Our top goal of the season will be released this FRIDAY, May 13th.  Get excited!
