No. 1 Eagle Women Win At Northwood, Move Into First-Place Tie In Great Midwest

Two goals in the first 10 minutes of Tuesday (Oct. 17) afternoon's game at Northwood was enough for the No. 1-ranked Ashland University women's soccer team, as a 2-0 victory moved the Eagles into a tie for first place with the Timberwolves atop the Great Midwest Athletic Conference table.
 
Ashland moves to 13-0-1 overall and 9-0-1 in the Great Midwest following its eighth consecutive win and fourth straight clean sheet. Northwood is 10-3-2, 9-1-1, after its six-game winning streak was snapped.
 
The Eagles continue to be on the program's best start to a season in 22 years (also 13-0-1 through 14 games in 2001).
 
NOTABLES
  • The game-winning goal was scored in the sixth minute by junior forward McKinley Mendenhall, with an assist from junior defender Julianna Williams. For Mendenhall, it was her fifth goal of the season, and third game-winning goal – all coming in consecutive contests. Williams' assist was her first of 2023.
  • Then, in the 10th minute, sophomore forward Dani Hicks netted an unassisted goal for her team-leading ninth tally of the fall.
  • From there, senior goalkeeper Mackenzie Simon and the Eagle defense took care of the rest. Simon, the three-time Great Midwest women's soccer defensive Athlete of the Week, made two saves in earning her ninth individual clean sheet of the season and the team's 11th overall.
  • The Timberwolves out-shot the Eagles, 17-9, but Ashland took nine of the contest's dozen corner kicks.
  • Ashland is 23-5-3 all-time against Northwood.
 
UP NEXT
Ashland will remain on the road on Saturday (Oct. 21) at 4 p.m. to take on Findlay (8-3-2, 8-1).
