Honorable Mention: Maddison Ackiss (first goal) vs. Macalester

It was the epitome of a team goal.  It exemplified our possession style of soccer. The definition of our Gustie Tempo.  It was one of the coaches favorite goals of the entire 2015 season and it came in the first half of our first conference game.

Not seen in the clip, first year center back Trina Rinke sticks a tackle near midfield and finds the feet of Sophomore playmaker Sophie Leininger.  Sophie opens up and plays the ball to the feet of one of our forwards, Junior Maddison Ackiss, who plays a fantastic one time through ball to her fellow forward Senior Brittany Chase.  Britt breaks through a slide tackle from a Macalester center back, forcing their goalkeeper to come off her line.  As the goalkeeper is charging forward, Britt calmly plays the ball central for an easy open net finish for Maddi, who had continued her run into the box.

Now if you think the description sounds exciting, just watch the video below.  Feel free to watch it a second or third time.

Now you can see why this was one of the coaches favorite goals of the season :) Don't forget to check back tomorrow for our #5 goal of the season.
