Mavs Get 2nd Straight Shutout in Win Over UMD
Sep 25, 2005 | Women's Soccer
The Mavs held the NCC's top offense scoreless and to just three shots as they defeated Minnesota Duluth 4-0 Sunday afternoon at the Soccer Field at Ak-Sar-Ben. Nebraska-Omaha got goals from four different players as it improved to 5-1-0 and 2-0-0 in the North Central Conference.
Freshman Amanda Iwansky scored first for the Mavericks in the 28th minute when she knocked in a deflected shot for her second of the year. Junior Beth McGill took a free kick from the far left side and lifted it into the box. Sophomore Danielle McCawley put a shot on net and UMD goalkeeper Briana Francisco deflected it out to Iwansky, allowing her to bury it in the back of the net from five yards out.
Though the Mavs had just a 1-0 lead at halftime, they dominated the Bulldogs with a 9-1 advantage on shots. The Maverick reserves then stepped up in the second half and accounted for two of the final three goals.
Rachel Waterhouse, a Division I transfer and Duluth native, scored her first goal since leading Troy with nine in 2002. She had sat out the previous two years due to injury. Waterhouse found the back of the net at 62:56 when she fired it into an empty net from 12 yards out with a defender on her.
In the 76th minute McGill scored her fourth of the year off a rightside cross from Brandie Beale. Beale earned her third assist and leads the team with 15 points.
Maverick forward MaryClaire Murnan came into the game late and was given many scoring chances as she looked for her first points. After putting her first three shots into the hands of the UMD keeper, she got one past Francisco with four minutes remaining for her collegiate first. Junior Tricia Braziel and freshman Whitney Hill assisted on the goal.
The Mavericks continued their defensive domination in the second half and ended up with a 23-3 advantage on shots and 16-3 advantage on shots on goal. UMD came into the week tied for the NCC lead averaging 7.88 points per game. Senior keeper Amy Price made all three necessary saves for UNO and sophomore Ellen Petersen played the final 10 minutes as the two combined for their second straight shutout and third of the year.
Nebraska-Omaha will now pack its bags for a five-game road trip. First up is a trip to Wayne State Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the season's final non-conference match.
