KROETEN'S GOAL LIFTS NO. 17 WARRIORS

Murfreesboro, IA – No. 17 Indian Hills Women's Soccer got back on the winning track with a 1-0 victory over Wabash Valley College in Tennessee on Saturday. Dare Kroeten (St. Louis Park, MN/St. Louis Park) scored the team's lone goal in the win.

After dropping its first match of the year last Sunday, the Warriors made the trek to Murfreesboro, TN for the neutral site contest against the Warriors. Indian Hills struck early as Kroeten put home an assist from freshman Shay Polson (Johnston, IA/Johnston) that proved to be the game-winner for the Warriors.

The match served as the first leg of the Warriors' two-games-in-two-days trek to Tennessee as Indian Hills will now take on host Motlow State Community College at 11:00 AM on Sunday. The Bucks defeated Wabash Valley 1-0 on Friday afternoon.

"Deserving performance from the girls today on a blistering hot afternoon out here in Tennessee," stated head coach Ulysus Torres. "The team worked hard throughout the match. Now it's full attention on the Motlow match tomorrow."

Freshmen Sara Cogoli (Erbusco, Italy/IIS Luigi Einaudi) and Teagan Hall (Polk City, IA/Ankeny Centennial) split time in net for the Warriors. Cogoli blanked the Warriors in the opening 45 minutes of action while Hall made a save in the second half to keep Wabash Valley off the scoreboard and preserve the shutout.

In total, the Warriors fired 14 shots on Saturday, including six from Kroeten. The Warriors put four of those shots on net and earned four corner kicks on the afternoon.

Indian Hills has now blanked two of its three opponents to open up the season.
