Our 29 shots to their zeroshots
shows how we controlled the
tempo.”
Behrend kept the ball in the
defensive end of the Thiel Lady
Cats for most of the game, and
Nese credits the ball control to
the earlier scrimmage against
nationally ranked Mercyhurst.
“The Mercyhurst game taught
us how to make quicker
decisions. Against a lesser
opponent than Mercyhurst, our
smarter, quicker decisions really
showed.”
“It’s a great
start to a
program
that’s going
to thrive here

Behrend. ”

The lady kickers were home
yesterday against the Titans of
Westminster. Behrend came out
on top with a 4-0 victory and
collected its second shutout of the
season. According to Nese, this
was the toughest match of the
season. “Westminster was our
toughest opponent so far.
They’ve played teams that we
have with comparable finishes.”
All of the Behrend scoring was
done in the first half hour of
play. Herrmann led die offensive
attack with three goals, while
Obmann picked up a goal to
round out the scoring. Duchini
and Carino each notched assists.
The next match is Tuesday at
Lake Erie College in Ohio.
