Purdue goes 1-1 over weekend
By Purdue Sports Information
The Purdue women's soccer lost 2-1 to Northwestern
on Sunday, as the Wildcats scored with two seconds left to play in regulation.
The Boilermakers fall to 4-3-0 (1-1-0 Big Ten), while Northwestern improves
to 2-3-1 (1-0-1 Big Ten).
"Today we put in a good effort, which is the important
part," said Purdue head coach Rob Klatte. "Going 1-2 on the week is
disappointing, but we are even with our results on the weekend and I
have confidence in our team that we'll come back and play some good
soccer."
At the 14:23 mark, Katie Redmond found freshman
forward Lauren Sesselmann for a breakaway goal.
Purdue continued its physical play, but the Wildcats
tied the game at one.
The game stayed tied at one and overtime seemed
evident. But with less than 20 seconds left, Purdue committed a foul
just outside the box and Northwestern was awarded a free kick. Purdue
set up its wall with less than ten seconds left and the Wildcats kicked
off just in time.
The ball made its way through the goal with two
seconds remaining.
The Boilermakers outshot the Wildcats, 9-7.
In the goal, junior Jocelyn Cavalier started and
tallied two saves in the first half. Senior Elizabeth Boldt took over
at the break and notched one save.
Purdue opened Big Ten play with a 3-0 victory over
Wisconsin Friday night in Madison. The Boilermakers scored three goals
during a first half scoring barrage and cruised to victory over the
Badgers.
Redmond opened the scoring with a goal at the game’s
6:50 mark on a pass from Sesselmann. Purdue tallied their second goal
of the night on a 40-yard free kick that was deflected at the six-yard
box. Sesselmann got credit for the goal and Jessica Baumhoff recorded
the assist. Annette Kent added the Boilermakers third goal of the half
at the 29:33 mark from Lori Arnold.
Lauren Monica started in goal for Purdue, making
five saves in 74 minutes of action. Boldt played the final 16 minutes
in net and recorded three saves.
The Boilermakers will be back in action on Friday
and Sunday when they host Penn State and Ohio State.
