A tie in the last game against Trevecca slipped Kentucky Wesleyan women's soccer to fourth place in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference.
"This was a really important game for us," said head coach
Jamie Duvall. "It was a game that we needed to win. We played hard and we did what we thought we needed to do. Even though we can't get the number one seed, we have put ourselves in a good position to host a home playoff game."
KWC takes on first place Ursuline at 7:00 tonight on the turf at Steele Stadium. Prior to the game, three seniors,
Julia Klump,
Paige Kramer and
Leslie Chinn will be honored in their last home game at Steele.
"Tonight is important to me because this is the first class that I brought in," continued Duvall. "It also just happens to be three kids that I have coached since they were 10 years old. We are really looking forward to this game."
Klump has scored once this season and has eight goals overall at KWC. Kramer has four goals this season and 20 for her career and is the career leader in assists with 26 up to this game. Chinn has nine career goals in her time as a Panther.
The Panthers enter tonight 9-4-1 overall and 5-2-1 in the G-MAC.Â
Annie Elder,
Katlyn Duke and
Penni Pluimer all have five goals apiece to lead the team.
Kramer has a team leading five assists and
Kathryn Dishion has played the majority of the minutes in goal, making 47 saves and has posted two shutouts.
Ursuline enters the contest 12-3 overall and 7-1 in the G-MAC. Paige Rowan leads the team with 15 goals and Helen Jazzar has made 56 saves while playing the majority of the minutes in goal.
