Knights Cruise Past Cougars with the 4-0 Shutout

KOKOMO, Ind. – The No. 2 Marian women's soccer team had no troubles on the road, posting a solid 4-0 shutout against the Cougars of IU-Kokomo on Saturday afternoon.

The Knights put on a shooting clinic in Kokomo, tallying a total of 29 shots on the day, 16 of them being on goal.

Marian made an offensive threat to start by rattling off seven shots in the first 16 minutes of play, before Katie Koger put the Knights on the board to give them the early 1-0 lead. With Koger's goal, the Knights continued to put the pressure on the Cougars with Kyle Conrad and Gretchen Mallin firing off shots.

At the 41-minute mark, Kinadee White found the foot of Laney Harshany who fired one off in back netting to give Marian the 2-0 lead going into halftime. Not only was the Marian offense a force to be reckoned with, but the Knights' defense left IU-Kokomo searching for any bit of offense as they only managed one shot attempt in the half.

It would be a similar story in the second half as Koger made a pair of shot attempts, before Kiley Jones, Naomi Walters, and Grace Crawford all got in on the action with their attempts. The Knights found themselves with a three-goal lead after Walters scored on the assists from Mallin in the 70th minute.

With the 3-0 lead at hand, Marian never let up the pressure as they posted three more shots. It was with 10 minutes left that Conrad added a goal to her team's lead, giving the Knights the 4-0 lead. IU-Kokomo had absolutely no answer for the Marian offense, with the Knights picking up 15 shots to the Cougars' one attempt.

Marian would pick up the 4-0 win after a dominating performance on the pitch. Four different Knights scored, with Koger, Harshany, Walters, and Conrad registering a goal. In Marian's 29 shots, 12 different players took a shot, while Koger and White each picked up an assist. Kristen Morgan played the full 90 minutes in goal for the Knights, making one save on the day and picking up the shutout win.

The Knights will return to the pitch on Tuesday for their home opener, hosting Indiana Tech at 7 p.m.
