Box Score WHITEWATER, Wis. – Coming off a decisive victory over Lake Forest on Wednesday to get back to the .500 mark on the young season, MSOE women's soccer headed to Whitewater, Wis. to get in their last match before conference play begins. There the Raiders turned in an impressive performance, downing UW-Whitewater by three on Saturday night.
RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 4
UW-Whitewater – 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- UW-Whitewater (1-2-0) outshot MSOE (3-2-0) 10-5 in the first half but didn't have anything to show for their efforts. Instead, it was the Raiders that scored the lone goal in the initial frame thanks to a Nikki Ratts pass that set up Louisa Essuman for her third goal of the season.
- The favor was returned just 59 seconds into the second frame when Essuman connected with Ratts for the second Red & White tally of the game.
- While the Warhawks pulled within on with a score in the 55th minute, that would be all their offense would produce for the evening.
- Ratts added her second goal of the game to give her five total points before Nicole Robb buried another Essuman assist at 65:49 to round out the scoring and solidify the Raiders victory.
RAIDER REMARKS
- The three-goal win against the Warhawks snapped a four-game losing streak for the Raiders against UWW.
