Women’s Soccer Knocks Off No. 7 Ashland
SIUE women’s soccer team picked up a huge win before the start of Great Lakes Valley Conference action this week. The Cougars went to Ohio and knocked off 7th-ranked Ashland 1-0 on Sunday afternoon.
Junior forward Sarah Landt (Carbondale) chose the right time to net her first goal of the year at the 59:26 mark of the second half. Sophomore Christina Stremlau (St. Louis) set up Landt’s goal that improved the Cougars record to 2-3 on the year.
Freshman goalkeeper Kim Roady (Granite City) was the backbone for the Cougars in the win. She made four saves for the first shutout of her college career.
SIUE’s win over Ashland was the end to a weekend that started out in heartbreak as the Cougars fell to Mercyhurst 1-0 in double overtime on Friday. In that contest, the Cougars outshot their opponents 20-11 only to lose on a breakaway at the 105:33 mark.
The Cougars next travel to Kentucky Wesleyan for a game on Friday afternoon at 3:30. SIUE visits Southern Indiana on Sunday for a 2:30 p.m. start.
