Story Links

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Marian women's soccer team continues onto the Sweet 16 in the NAIA National Tournament traveling to Pensacola, Fla. to compete at the final site. With the Knights 3-0 shutout win Marian moves to a 17-3-2 overall record.

The Knights opened up the first half with Layla Brown claiming three shots in hte first 10 minutes of play, two being a tad too high and one being on target. After 10 minutes of a dry spell for both sides Naomi Walters claimed the first goal with the assist from Layla Brown to put the Knights in the lead 1-0 at the 23' mark. 10 minutes later both Kiley Jones and Kylie Conrad took their shots at a goal but were both a tad too high from the target. The Running Eagles took their chances at a goal but came up short to Mycheala Johnson's efforts in goal with 20 seconds remaining in the half to secure the 1-0 lead for the Knights going into the half.

Marian opened up the second half with a corner kick from Katie Koger. A few minutes later Koger got her shot into the back of the goal off of a great pass from Jones to increase the Knights lead 2-0. Two minutes later Lizzie Chlystun got within shooting range but shot too far wide right off of the target. Within a minute more of play Naomi Walters was able to get her header off of a pass from Jones to extend the lead and claim a brace for the evening. The Knights were able to claim two more shots before Life was able to take their chances. With Cecelia Kostick and Chlystun each taking their chances at the target. Kostick's hit a margin to high making contact with the crossbar and Chlystun's shot getting caught by the Running Eagles goalie. Both sides of the field traded shots with Olivia Parmer's shot going a little too right off of the target with five minutes remaining in the match. The ball stayed in the middle of the field for the remaining five minutes of play to allow the Knights to secure the 3-0 win over the Running Eagles. 

Layla Brown led the team in shots with three shots and one on target. Lizzie Chlystun and Naomi Walters were able to each claim two shots with Chlystun claiming one shot on target and Walters claiming both of her shots on target to claim each of her goals. In goal Johnson claimed the shutout win as well as one save on the evening.

With the win the Knights move onto the Round of 16 to compete against the College of Idaho on December 2nd or 3rd at 7 p.m. at the final site in Pensacola, Fla.
