Two Big Games . . . Two Big Wins!

The Cougs have been on fire the last week!  They took off on Monday to a little place called Miami, to play University of Miami.  A few things to remember, the girls have been on the road for the majority of September and have had their share of ups and downs.  Miami and Michigan State are both undefeated.  Miami has only allowed 1 goal on the season, and Michigan State has allowed 2 goals.  

Auna Janis scored 68 minutes into the game.  She received a cross from Lauren Anderson and Auna did a nice job of putting it in.  The girls came out with a lot of energy and excitement for the game, and pulled of a tough win on the road.

The Cougs then returned home to face Michigan State, where they would have their hands full with a tough offense.  Andrea Willis scored in the first half off a beautiful free kick to put the Cougs up 1-0.  The team suffered a tough loss when Jess Harmon Carter received a controversial red card, and were forced to play a man down.  With about 20 minutes left in the game, Jennie Marshall flicked the ball over 4 defenders and out ran, yes not 1 or 2 or 3, but all 4 of their defenders and slotted the ball in the back of the net.  The Cougs went on to win to tough games, and will head to Cal-Berkley on Thursday!  Good work team, keep it up!
