Olathe
, KS- Avila took on MidAmerica Nazarene
Tuesday in hopes of extending their conference win record to 4 games.
The Eagles fought hard to keep themselves in the game. In the first
half, MidAmerica scored on a corner kick deflected into the goal
by an Avila defender. The Eagles went into halftime down by one
goal, which they scored themselves.
The second half was the time
to prove they could do it. They came out flat, however, and MidAmerica
capitalized. MidAmerica scored their second goal in the 69 th minute
and gained momentum. Avila could not manage to get even one past
the keeper. In the last minute of the game, MidAmerica extended
their lead to 3 goals and the Eagles walked off with a disappointing
loss. MidAmerican outshot the Eagles 18 to 17.
Coach Clements was displeased
with the performance of his team. He said, “The girls knew this
game could have put them into the conference tournament. It was
a lot of pressure for them to handle and they couldn't manage to
meet the expectations. Next week we have two games, both of which
could potentially get us into the conference tournament with a win.
We will work hard this week and come out strong.”
The Eagles will face Benedictine
at home on Saturday for their senior day. The game is set to start
at 12pm.
