Final Stats

ADRIAN, Mich. - Adrian and Baldwin-Wallace had to wait 18 days to play their match but once they did it was a very entertaining one as the Yellow Jackets nipped the Bulldogs, 2-1. AC fell behind at 23:21 as Natalie Fox scored her second goal of the season on a nice pass from Linsey Clapacs for Baldwin-Wallace. Fox had a one-touch kick from around nine yards out in the middle of the box.

Lindsay Chitwood got the equalizer at 38:20 on a gift from BW goalkeeper Becky Miner. Miner came out to play the ball but misfired on her kick which led to Chitwood getting the ball at her feet from around 40 yards out. Chitwood lobbed a shot over Miner's head and into the goal after a couple of bounces. Chitwood's seventh goal of the season seemed to give Adrian a boost of energy.

The Yellow Jackets got the game-winning goal with just 15 seconds left in the first half. BW got possession of the ball on the right wing and Allie Wojtkun fired a strike into the top left corner of the goal from around 23 yards away over the head of Steffeny Burns. Noelle Fox was credited with the assist for BW.

The second half was played evenly as both teams failed to score. Adrian outshot Baldwin-Wallace, 8-5, in the half to finish with 10 total shots.
