No. 7 AU Women Top Pioneers, Move Into First Place In Great Midwest

The No. 7-ranked Ashland University women's soccer team moved into first place alone in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference table on Saturday (Sept. 28) afternoon, topping Malone on the road, 3-0.
 
With the victory, the Eagles move to 5-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 in the conference, while the Pioneers are 5-1-1, 3-1.
 
The Eagles wasted little time in moving in front, as, in the eighth minute, senior forward McKinley Mendenhall scored on an assist from senior forward Tori Haggit. It was Mendenhall's second goal of 2024, and Haggit's first helper.
 
Then, in the 45th minute, freshman midfielder Rosie Pellegrino potted her first collegiate goal, unassisted, to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead going into the break.
 
Ashland's final tally of the day came in the 85th minute, when senior midfielder Sydney McMillan recorded her first goal of the season. Mendenhall had the helper, her team-high fourth of the campaign – which moves her into a tie for third place on the program's all-time list with 29.
 
THE FIFTH SHUTOUT OF THE SEASON…AND THE REST OF THE STORY
  • Ashland's defense earned its fifth clean sheet of the season, and 24th since the start of 2023. Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Mackenzie Simon made three saves in the first half, and senior keeper Maddie Dolenga made one in the second half.
  • The Eagles had a decided 19-6 shots advantage, and took 13 of the 15 corner kicks on Saturday.
  • Ashland is 9-1 all-time vs. the Pioneers.
