Belles Fend Off Ravens

St. Mary's College (Ind.) fended off the Anderson University women's soccer team by a score of 1-0 on Saturday at the AU Soccer Fields.

The Belles (5-1) outshot the Ravens (1-4-1) by a 16-11 margin and held a 9-3 shots on goal advantage.

"Overall, we weren't sharp from the beginning and we need to start ready from the whistle," Coach Jennifer Myhre said. "We picked the focus and fight second half, just struggling to put one in. Riley Schultz came up with some great goal line saves to keep us in it and there were some close opportunities on goal later. We are right there and just need to focus on our speed of play and possession to get more chances and goals inside the box."

Kaitlyn Revell (Louisville, Ky./Assumption) registered three shots and one shot on goal for the Ravens. The senior from Louisville, Ky. provided Anderson's best scoring opportunity with a shot that hit the crossbar in the 83rd minute. Jessica Pulaski (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville) and Corissa Horton (Fountaintown, Ind./Triton Central) contributed two shots apiece. Harper Manion (Lebanon, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) and Isabella Trader (Eaton, Ohio/Eaton) each put their only shot on frame. Anhely Montes (Portland, Ind./Jay County) also added a shot.

Emmalee Paarlberg (Franklin, Ohio/Homeschool) saved six of the seven shots she faced. Riley Schultz (Circleville, Ohio/Logan Elm) came up with two defensive saves.
