ASHLAND, Ohio – The Wildcats of Northern Michigan University Women's Soccer fell in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference (GLIAC) action Saturday afternoon with a 2-1 loss to Ashland University.

EARLY SUCCESS

Caroline Halonen of NMU showed yet again that she is a threat from the opening whistle. Stephanie Trujillo sent a short pass to Halonen behind her. Halonen then took a long shot, about five yards from the top of the box, into the top right corner of the net.

The goal in the sixth minute was the only one the Wildcats were able to score.

Ashland scored a goal a little over four minutes later to even the score. Then, in the 59th minute, the Eagles put the game-winning goal into the net for the 2-1 win.
