RESULT
Dominican – 0
MSOE RAIDERS – 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (11-3-0, 7-1-0 NACC) rebounded nicely after a 2-0 defeat to CUW on Wednesday, controlling the tempo and allowing just three Dominican (9-2-2, 7-1-0 NACC) shots in the first half.
- The games only goal came in the 25th minute when Louisa Essuman set up Nicole Robb to put the Raiders up by one and provide them with all the offense that they would need.
- The Stars more than doubled their shot production in the second half but only three of their ten total shots in the ballgame ended up on goal and each one was easily saved by Megan Lacina.
- The Red & White now sit in a two-way tie with DU for second place but hold the pivotal tiebreaker that could have huge postseason implications.
RAIDER REMARKS
- This is the Raiders first win over Dominican since November of 2016 where they also won by the score of 1-0.
- Louisa Essuman's assist this afternoon gave her eight on the year, which is tenth most in a single season in MSOE history.
