Baldwin
City, KS- The Eagles drop to Baker University Tuesday
night 0-3. Baker came out and dominated with 12 shots in the first
half to Avila's 1 shot. Baker forward Alix Schiraldi snuck a goal
by in the 24 th minute of the game. The half ended with a 1-0 lead
in Baker's favor.
Throughout the game, Baker
had 9 shots on goal while Avila could not manage to test their keeper
one time. Shiraldi earned her second goal of the game and Jenny
Haynes tacked on the third. Despite the high score, Avila's defense
played effectively against the Baker offense and did not give up
any goals in the run of the game. Their three goals all came from
set pieces.
Coach Clements was pleased
with some aspects of the game but still expects a lot out of the
girls. He stated, "Today was a frustrating loss. We have a young
team and have a lot to learn about playing together. Competing in
this conference takes a lot of hard work and dedication, and we
did not show that for the whole game today.
This weekend will be another
tough test for the girls. As a coaching staff, we will do what we
can to get them ready. The rest will be up to them on Saturday."
The Eagles are now 5-5 on
the season and 1-1 in conference. They play Lindenwood University
Saturday, October 3, at Swope Park. The game is set to start at
6pm.
