Beavers fall against IC

The Beavers lost to IC today 5-0 in a game where the IC forwards put a lot of pressure on goalkeeper Maria Cline. Maya March and Makayla Ewing led the Beavers offensively, but they were well defended by the IC backfield.

The Highlights:

• Maria Cline played a great game under pressure recording eleven saves and she stepped in to play offense as well for the Beavers in the final 24 minutes of the second half. On the day, the Beaver defense was tested with 47 shots and a grand total of 19 shots on goal.
• Maya March and Makayla Ewing each recorded two shots, but after early pressure by the Beaver offense, the IC defense tracked them hard with up to four defenders when they approached the backfield.
• IC forward Ashley Sholmire recorded three goals against the Beavers and Mychaela Bennett recorded three assists.
• Throughout the game, Sholmire and Bennett kept constant pressure on Maria Cline and both recorded 10 plus shots against the Beaver defense.
• The Beaver defense played fairly well but the constant pressure from the IC forwards and controlled passing game were the deciding factors.

Substitutions:

• The Beavers subbed in Elisabeth Johnston, Emily Benning, and Courtney Pence
• IC subbed in four players and one recorded a goal.
