The Madison College women’s soccer team defeated Harper College, 5-0, in the NJCAA Region 4 Tournament Final at home on Oct. 22.
It was a strong offensive showing considering the WolfPack had been held scoreless in its two most recent matches.
Liz Foye started the scoring with a goal in the 28th minute. Kierstin McHugh recorded a brace with goals in the 36th and the 60th minute, both of which were assisted by Lexi Kulow.
Kulow also recorded a brace with goals in the 44th and the 68th minute, the first off an assist by Mahala Frey and the second from an assist from McHugh.
Goalkeeper Morgan Thompson saved 12 shots in her fifth clean sheet of the season.
When asked about what the team did well, Madison College Coach Matt Schwartz said, “We finally found a way to score some goals and build through the midfield.”
Schwartz was also impressed by the entire team.
“From the starters to the reserves, everyone did great,” he said.
Schwartz hopes that the team can keep the momentum going into the next tournament. Madison College now stands at 7-4-2 overall.
Madison College will host the NJCAA Great Lakes District Tournament on Oct. 28 and Oct. 29 to see which team earns the right to play in the NJCAA Division III National Tournament in November.
