Dominating Performances
We left for what appeared to be a tough weekend on Friday morning around 7:30am. We knew we were on our way to play the #2 and #3 teams in our conference at their grass fields. I was nervous about playing on their much smaller grass fields. We had played very average soccer at New Ulm and Mankato a couple of weeks back and these were both better opponents. Well, my fears subsided as we jumped on Crown College early in the game. We jumped to a 4-0 halftime lead en route to a 6-1 voctory where we outshot the Storm 19-3. On Saturday, at Northwestern College in a battle of the top UMAC teams, the Saints jumped out to a 2-0 haltime lead and then went on to win 4-0, outshooting the Eagles 10-1. For the weekend the Saints outscored their opponents 10-1 and out shot them 29-4. It was a good showing by the Saints and moved us one step closer to a UMAC title and possible NCAA play-off berth. The Saints are now 15-2-0 on the year and with 3 regular season games and possible play-off games, a 20 win season is still in reach... which would be a record for the Saints.
Record Book Breaking Robin
Robin Johnson (SR- Duluth Marshall) continued her record breaking ways, by breaking out of a tie for career points with Jen Seip ('05). With her hat trick and 6 point performance on Friday, Robin gained sole possesion of the record. Robin's 160 points also makes her the career points record holder in all of St. Scholastica Soccer history, men or women. Neil Runbeck's ('01) record of 157 points held for 7 years. After today's game winning goal, Robin has 64 goals and 36 assists for 164 points. She still has an outside chance at the single season goals record of 26 set by Jill Tribble ('95).
