Mustang Midfield Takes Over Goucher
Towson, MD- The Mustangs traveled to local-rival Goucher College for their last regular season game. The Mustangs went in and took over the field, winning 2-1 against the Gophers.
The Gophers found the cage first to give them a 1-0 lead over the Mustangs 10 minutes into the game. Villa's Jennifer Sauers (Baltimore, MD/Perry Hall) hit the cage at the 8 minute mark to make the game all square at the half. Sauers came out of halftime and got another shot past Goucher's Aline Haddad to put the Mustangs up 2-1.
The game was led by the Mustang midfielders. Emily Pullarn (Perry Hall, MD/Perry Hall) and Cat Connelly (Fallston, MD/Fallston) led the midfield enabling the ball to transition smoothly from defense to offense. Forward, Aja Payne (Baltimore, MD/Kenwood) came off the bench and made some great plays to help keep the ball on the Gopher side of the field.
Goalie, Kara Zimmerman (Odenton, MD/Arundel)
dominated in the cage along with Christie Greer (Bel Air,
MD/Bel Air) kept the defense strong against the Gopher
offense to only allow them to get away with one goal.
This win boosts Mustang morale going into post season play along
with their overall record climbing to 5-12 and 2-4 in the
CAC. The #4 Mustangs will host CAC-rival #5 Mary Washington
on Sunday for the CAC Quarterfinals at 1 pm.
