Box Score

MEQUON, Wis. – The Edgewood College women's soccer team had a chance to move into second place in the Northern Athletics Conference, but Concordia University Wisconsin wasn't quite willing to give up their spot. The Falcons scored twice in the second half for a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over the Eagles on Tuesday afternoon.

Edgewood College (7-4-1, 4-2-1 NAC) drew first blood in the 18th minute of the match. Kristina Santaga scored off a pass from Brianna Franken for her fifth goal of the season. It was also her third consecutive goal after scoring the final two in a 3-0 victory against Benedictine University on Saturday. Edgewood College outshot the Falcons 9-6 in the first half and put five of those shots on goal.

Concordia University Wisconsin (6-5, 6-2 NAC) began to get the better of the Eagles in the second half. The Falcons fired off six consecutive shots in a span of six minutes, but didn't score as Edgewood College goalkeeper Kristi Frisch made three saves to preserve the lead.

Concordia Wisconsin finally broke through in the 64th minute on a goal by Ashley Apazeller. Just seven minutes later, Kelli Wittenberg scored to give the Falcons the lead for good. Edgewood College's leading scorer Elaine Gerry got off her team-high sixth shot of the game in the 86th minute, but it was saved by Falcon goalkeeper Samantha Anacker. Frisch made seven saves on the night while Anacker was forced to make six saves.

Edgewood College will try to get back on the winning track on Saturday. The Eagles will play another road match, this time at Concordia University Chicago. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m. at Concordia Stadium.
