Ohio Wesleyan 2, Earlham 1

Oct. 4, 2006

Sophomore defender Helen Herr (Lancaster, Pa./Lancaster Christian) scored with 2:07 left in regulation time to lift Ohio Wesleyan over Earlham in a North Coast Athletic Conference clash on Wednesday in Richmond, Ind.

The teams battled through a remarkably even first half, with each team firing 4 shots at the other's cage and each team compiling 5 penalty corners.

Ohio Wesleyan broke the scoreless deadlock early in the second half when senior attacker Julie Higgins (Gladstone, N.J./Voorhees) sent a pass to senior attacker Abbey Kelley (West Bloomfield, Mich./Mercy) and Kelley directed the ball past Quaker keeper Katherine McDonough.

Earlham evened the game at 1-1 when Cassie Gage scored off a Liz Buehler feed with 10:21 left in regulation time.

The tie stood until the closing minutes, when Herr connected on an unassisted goal for Ohio Wesleyan.

Earlham outshot Ohio Wesleyan, 11-8. Junior Katie Jones (Pine Plains, N.Y./Stissing Mountain) had 4 saves in the Ohio Wesleyan cage and McDonough had 2 saves for the Quakers.
