Conference Clash

Our game against Carleton was a HUGE battle. It was constant back and forth excitement and a very aggressive environment. The game remained scoreless until Carleton was able to finish a penalty kick in the first half of overtime. Despite the loss, we were proud of the effort put in and excited to get back out on the field to shine at our next game!

               

SAINT PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus women’s soccer team played host to Carleton on Saturday and fell in overtime by a score of 1-0. With the loss the Gusties fall to 3-11 overall and 2-6 in the conference, while the Knights improve to 8-2-3 overall and 5-1-2 in the MIAC.

The Knights controlled the contest early on, possessing the ball in their half for a large majority of the game. The two teams played scoreless for the first 90 before Carleton broke the ice in the first overtime period for the game winning goal. The Knights were awarded a penalty kick and Ashley Becker (Sr., Farmington), who made nine saves in the loss, dove the right way on the try but the ball went just passed her outstretched arms on the left side of the net for the Carleton victory.

The Knights outshot Gustavus in the contest 15-0 and had five corners to just two for the Gusties.
