Women's soccer battle against the Yellowjackets

SUPERIOR, Wisc. -- The North Central University (NCU) women's soccer team traveled north to take on the number one seed in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC), the University of Wisconsin Superior (UWS). The Rams played hard against the Yellowjackets throughout the 90 minutes but ultimately fell 5-0.

Game Vitals
  • UWS is the top ranked team in the UMAC and has only conceded two goals this season.
  • Despite 15 corner kicks from the Yellowjackets, the Rams defended each of them.

Game Recap

NCU was able to start the game with a slightly different lineup because of some players returning from injury. The depth of the Rams' bench allowed for many substitutions throughout the match. NCU's backline, led by center backs Rachel Lampton (Lake Villa, IL, Lakes Community High School) and Hannah Fischer (Port Washington, WI, Living Word Lutheran High School), was phenomenal, not allowing UWS to score until the 21st minute. Lampton and Fischer held a cohesive line and challenged the ball when it came into the box. Helping them out were outside backs Lideeya Lwoy (Willmar, MN, Willmar Senior High School), Hannah Johnson (Ramsey, MN, Legacy Christian Academy), and Annalise Gehrke (Plymouth, MN, For Him Academy), who all had a major part in keeping the Yellowjackets outside of NCU's half. Arien Fritts (Ham Lake, MN, Fritts Homeschool Academy), goalkeeper for the Rams, was another big reason for keeping some shots outside of the net. Fritts had 21 saves for the day, including an outstanding save in the second half that should have been a goal from the Yellowjacket offensive player. Despite the goal differential, the Rams did generate some offensive play, combining some passes in the middle to then play the ball long. NCU looks forward to playing UWS in the near future to get a different outcome.

Looking Ahead

The Rams get immediately back into play tomorrow at Northland College (NC) at 1 pm. NCU tied against NC 2-2 just earlier in the week. All fans are encouraged to follow official Rams Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for updates on the women's soccer team and much more information.
