A three-goal first half by the women’s soccer team was enough to secure a victory over the visiting Ohio Bobcats Friday at Wish Field. The goals were scored by Natasa Radosavljevic, Amber Paul and Kaily Cox.
“Anytime you can score more than two goals and keep a shutout, you’re happy,” said head coach Erin Chastain. “We really wanted to focus on setting the tone, fixing some things tactically (from last week) after a good week in training.”
Radosavljevic notched her second goal of the season for the Blue Demons (2-1-0) in the 20th minute with the aid of the crossbar. Ashleigh Goddard made a sliding challenge in the middle of the pitch to win possession of the ball and continued play through Paul. Paul took on a few players and bent a pass with the outside of her right foot that found Radosavljevic at the edge of the area. The junior’s left-footed shot hit the underside of the crossbar, bounced off the turf and back into the roof of the net.
