ALBION, Mich. – Freshman Jordyn MacKool (Berkley) scored the game-winning goal, as the Olivet College women's soccer team defeated Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) rival Albion College, 1-0, this afternoon at Alumni Field in Albion.
The game was a scoreless battle for the first half. The Comets had several great chances to score a goal in the first five minutes. They finally broke through in the 66th minute when MacKool received a pass from senior Becca Gaarde (Parma/Western), and buried her shot past the Briton keeper. Olivet kept the offensive pressure up and the defense held Albion without a shot in the second half.
Overall for the game, the Comets had a 20-2 advantage in total shots, including 11-1 edge for shots-on-goal. Both teams took three corner kicks. Gaarde, MacKool and junior Lindsey Winters (Plymouth/Canton) all had four shots. Freshman Devin Blue (Traverse City/Central) posted the shutout in goal, playing all 90 minutes and stopping the only shot on-goal in the 40th minute.
Olivet has the weekend off, and will return to competition next Wednesday, Oct. 3, when it plays at Adrian College. The game from Performance Stadium will kick off at 7 p.m.
