 In the women's game, it was a back-and-forth battle in the first
half, until Faith Baptist was able to find the back of the goal
toward the end of the half for a 1-0 lead. In the second half, LCU
quickly tied it up with a beautiful cross-field pass from senior
Moriah Kirkpatrick (Mount Vernon / John A. Logan Community College)
to senior Elizabeth Langley (Mahomet/Mahomet-Seymour High), who
kicked it in to tie up the score. Faith Baptist fought back and
scored two quick goals that sealed the victory. Senior goalie Ashlan
Rose (Chatham/Glenwood High) recorded 12 saves on the day.
In the men's game, it was neck and neck for the entire first
half, as both teams struggled to get off any good attempts on goal.
The second half started out much the same, until the 75-minute mark,
when Faith Baptist found the back of the goal. Within two minutes,
they scored another goal, which knocked LCU out of the game. On the
day, freshman goalie David Lucas (Hebron, Ind./Hebron High) recorded
10 saves.
