EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Junior midfielder
Bronwyn Boswell scored two goals on Sunday afternoon as the University of Evansville women's soccer team (2-5-1) won 2-1 against IUPUI (2-4-1) at Arad McCutchan Stadium. Boswell now has a team-high three goals this season and it is the third multi-goal game of her collegiate career.
"I'm glad the girls got a result today," said Evansville women's soccer head coach
Krista McKendree. "They have been working hard and have been deserving of one. We created some very good chances today and I'm happy we were finally able to put some of them away."
IUPUI went ahead off a corner kick in the 28
th minute that led to a Lauren Kulaga goal. The Jaguars took the 1-0 advantage into halftime despite being outshot 8-4 and committing 10 fouls.
Evansville tied up the match in the 48
th minute when senior midfielder
Allie Arguello dribbled the ball up the middle and passed left for Boswell, who scored in the lower right corner. Even at one, UE then pushed ahead in the 55
th minute when Boswell's free kick from just to the left of the 18 yard box bested Schmidt in the lower right corner.
"At halftime, I was just thinking we needed someone to be a difference maker," added Boswell. "I'm glad I was able to help in that. It felt really good to have a multi-goal game and I hope there will be more of them in the future."
Trailing 2-1, IUPUI had a pair of chances in the waning moments but an 88
th minute shot from Tori Minnich was saved by leaping UE senior goalkeeper
Simone Busby. Then in the final minute, Minnich had another shot off a corner kick but the UE defense was able to deflect the ball away at the goal line and preserve the 2-1 victory.
Boswell led all players with four shots (three on goal). Arguello's assist was her second this season and she also tallied three shots (two on goal). Busby recorded one save.
UE's next two matches will be on the road at St. Louis (Sept. 17) and at Vanderbilt (Sept. 20). The next home match is the team's Missouri Valley Conference opener against Loyola on Sept. 26. It will be Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Night and Homecoming with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m. CDT.
