After a tough week of losses against Minnesota State University Moorhead and Northern State University, Winona State Women’s Soccer approaches the end of the season 4-11-1.

The team went into this weekend optimistic for the game at Wayne State on Friday and the final home game against Augustana on Sun- day.

“The team knows we have the capabilities to pull off a win,” graduate student Camryn Cadiz said. “And we think we can do it this weekend.”

Through a good fight, the team was not able to secure a win this weekend against either team, falling 2-1 against the Wayne State Wildcats and 4-3 against the Augustana Vikings.

The first half of the game in Wayne, N.E. was slow as the score stayed at 0-0 when the horn went off for halftime.

“After losing both games last weekend,” Jamie Kwon, fourth-year midfielder, said, “We didn’t let our heads down and write off the rest of the season.”

Offensively this showed as the Warriors fought hard, but the Wild- cat’s had a better defense. The first half brought seven shots and two corner kicks for the team against Wayne State’s one shot.

Six minutes into the second half, Annika Syvrud on the Wildcat’s scored their first goal of the game after taking advantage of a Warrior foul.

The Warrior streak of bad luck continued as a close-range shot was barely missed. By the end of the game, they hit the goal post three times and had a last-second save off of the goal line.

Shortly thereafter, Syvrud scored another goal after a penalty area struggle from first-year Warrior goalie Alyson Jumper.

Missy Greco, fifth-year midfielder and defender, continued the strong effort with two long range shots in minute 60 and a successful effort to keep the ball on the Wildcat’s side of the field.
