Eagles edged in road match by Mastodons

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women's Soccer found itself in a scoreless deadlock for most of its road match at Purdue University Fort Wayne late Thursday, but a goal in the 72nd minute gave the host Mastodons a 1-0 win over the Screaming Eagles.
 
USI dropped to 0-5-1 on the season after its third setback determined by a one-goal difference. Purdue Fort Wayne moved to 4-2-1 after its second consecutive win and third 1-0 victory against an Ohio Valley Conference school this season.
 
Southern Indiana opened the contest aggressively on the offensive end and was ready to pull the trigger toward the goal. The Screaming Eagles tallied the game's first five shots by the 10-minute mark. Redshirt freshman Eva Boer (St. Charles, Illinois) had two of USI's early shot attempts.
 
Purdue Fort Wayne recorded its first shot in the 15th minute and was saved by USI redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama). The Mastodons went on to take 11 shots in the first half, but Southern Indiana's defense stayed solid by stepping in front and blocking four shots. Markland also notched another pair of saves, helping keep the match scoreless going into halftime.
 
After a quick shot by the Mastodons to start the second 45 minutes, USI sophomore midfielder Greta Ohlwein (Highland Park, Illinois) provided the Eagles a little spark with two shots and one on goal early in the second half.
 
USI's defense continued to keep Purdue Fort Wayne off the scoreboard despite facing many shots. However, the Mastodons broke through in the 72nd minute with a low-corner goal to take a 1-0 lead.
 
Inside the last 10 minutes of the game, Markland made three key saves to turn away Purdue Fort Wayne's efforts at an insurance goal and keep USI within one, but Southern Indiana was unable to find the back of the net before the final whistle.
 
Seeing 23 shot attempts from the Mastodons, Markland totaled a season-high seven saves for USI. Southern Indiana tallied nine shots with Ohlwein having a team-high three shots. Boer and sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres (Chula Vista, California) had two shots each. Purdue Fort Wayne placed nine shots on goal and USI had two on target.
 
Southern Indiana looks to snap its four-match skid Sunday at 1 p.m. when the Screaming Eagles host Miami University (Ohio) at Strassweg Field. Coverage links of the match can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.
