Women's Soccer Drops Tough 2-1 Home Decision to Wright State

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's soccer team went toe-to-toe with a strong Wright State side on Saturday night at Aldo Santaga Stadium, but the Raiders still prevailed with the 2-1 road victory in Horizon League play. The Phoenix (2-7-0, 1-1-0 HL) and Raiders (7-4-0, 2-0-0 HL) were tied 0-0 at the half, but a pair of second half goals by WSU would be the difference.

Green Bay benefited from an own goal with just over 3 minutes remaining in the match, but Wright State held Green Bay in check from then out. GB was forced to play with 10 players after Emily Simmons was sent off with her second yellow card in the 48th minute, before WSU would score in the 56th and 85th minutes.  

The Phoenix will play two road games next week, starting with a trip to Milwaukee on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. The team will stay on the road for Saturday tilt with IUPUI. 

GOAL SUMMARY

56' | WSU | Erin Graefen (Assist: Mattie Cutts): A header from Mattie Cutts was denied by Kelly Kent, but her save fell to the right foot of Graefen who pushed it to the left side past a diving Kent.

85' | WSU | Sarah Colvin (Assist: Jordyne Helinski, Aaliyah Patten): Helinski and Patten started a break against the thin Green Bay defense and Helinski eventually played the ball to Colvin who was running in wide open at the top of the box. Colvin fired it past Kent to the right side into the net. 

87' | OWN GOAL | After Brianna Messner played a free kick into the box, Cutts tried to clear the ball from the front of the net but kicked the ball right into the left side of the net for an own goal.
