Top-Ranked Eagle Women Blank Tiffin At Home, Move Into First-Place Tie In Great Midwest

The No 1-ranked Ashland University's women's soccer team has worked its way into a first-place tie atop the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, following a 4-0 win over Tiffin at Ferguson Field on Wednesday (Oct. 11).
 
Thanks to their sixth consecutive win, the Eagles are 11-0-1 overall and 7-0-1 in the league. The Dragons are 1-5-5, 1-4-3.
 
As has been its custom so far in 2023, all four Ashland goals were scored by four different players.
 
NOTABLES
  • Ashland opened the scoring in the 17th minute when junior forward McKinley Mendenhall netted a goal in a scramble for her third tally of the season. Then, in the 19th minute, junior midfielder Merrik Mihalek scored her fifth goal of the fall in a similar fashion.
  • In the 51st minute, senior forward Allison King turned a penalty kick into her fifth goal of the campaign – and a 3-0 Eagle advantage. Freshman forward Sydney Polen made it a 4-0 gap on her fifth goal of her rookie season on a header.
  • The Eagles had a decided 21-5 shots advantage, and a decided 13-1 corner kicks advantage.
  • Senior goalkeeper Mackenzie Simon made two saves for her eighth clean sheet of the season and the team's ninth overall.
  • Ashland has won 11 consecutive games against Tiffin.
  • Wednesday's game was Ashland's Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
 
QUOTABLES
  • "It was great to win the set-piece battle," said Ashland head coach Cayleb Paulino. "We won both halves, and it's the first time that's happened, I feel like, in a while. For us, we started out fast."
  • "It's hard to figure out how we are going to get goals, as a scouting report," Paulino said of the spacing out of goals individually this season. "Our players are consistently creating chances, and it's good to see multiple players get on the scoresheet."
  • Said Paulino, who played 27 players on Wednesday, "For us, it starts with training. It's the environment we create. Our depth is something that keeps us going."
 
UP NEXT
Ashland will stay at home to take on Lake Erie (1-10-1, 0-8) on Saturday (Oct. 14) at 6:30 p.m.
