Badger starting keeper
Anna Brunner (0-7) made eight saves against 29 shots and 11 corner kicks by UWG. Abbie Chaves of the Wolves had two saves versus seven Badger shots and one corner attempt in the first half while Haley Brinkman played the second period with no saves against no shot nor corner attempts.
Following the contest SHC head coach
Emily Marcouiller stated, "We played a fantastic first half. We really had them pinned in. I was super proud of the first half. It's a little disappointing that we didn't bring that same energy to the second half and the goals we gave up were our mistakes for not being tuned in completely. We take away the positives and go again Sunday."
The Badgers (0-7; 0-3 GSC) will now travel to Valdosta, Ga. to face the Valdosta State University (VSU) Blazers (3-1; 0-0 GSC) at the VSU Soccer Complex on Sunday at 1 p.m. (eastern)
