Swallow scores but #8 Cougars roll in Goshen

SAU hadn't allowed a goal since September 14

GOSHEN, Ind. - Madalyne Swallow scored for Goshen, but the #8 Spring Arbor Cougars were able to win decidedly 7-1.

The goal was Goshen's first against Spring Arbor since 2015 - the Cougars were ranked #8 during that game as well. The goal was also the first that SAU has given up in conference action this season and the first since September 14, against Saint Xavier.

Swallow's goal came in the 33rd minute, after the Cougars already had a 2-0 lead and Goshen goalkeeper Victoria Naylor had saved a penalty kick. Anita Tavares found Amy Drew while falling down, and Drew sent a ball up the right side as Swallow stayed onside and chased up to it. Swallow struck it from just inside the penalty area and arched it just above the goalie's hands to make it a one goal deficit.

It appeared that it would stay 2-1 going into the half, but Spring Arbor scored a third with four seconds to go. Goshen didn't have any shot opportunities in the second half after taking four in the first. Meanwhile, the Cougars tacked on goals in the 70th, 76th, 77th and 87th minutes.

Naylor made ten saves for Goshen. In addition to Swallow, Brynja Hjartardottir had Goshen's other shot on goal. Hjartardottir has at least one shot in each of the last five games and has 15 total this season, already tying her season high.

Goshen hosts #17 Indiana Wesleyan on Saturday, October 5, at 2:00 pm for Homecoming Weekend. Be sure to attend the Champions of Character Reception at noon in the Church-Chapel Fellowship Hall where we will hear from this year's winners, Carl Yoder '57 and Sophia Sears '17.
