Emily Monroe.
Monroe would then score the games first goal four minutes later off a pass from
McKenzie Kellogg. Jewell added another goal at the 32 minute mark when
Aspen Hawkins scored her third goal of the year off an assist from
Hayley White.
The Cardinals would hang on for a 2-0 halftime lead. At halftime the Cardinals honored their five seniors, Maxwell, Kellogg,
Jade Gifford,
Alex Dressman and
Madeline Hopfinger.
Just eight minutes into the second half
Emma Baldridge knocked home her fourth goal of the year with
Alyson Galler earning the assist.
The Cardinals dominated possession for most of the contest and led 14-8 in shots. Dressman earned her first win of the year in goal for Jewell and had three saves on the evening.
Jewell will close out the home portion of 2015 on Sunday, October 18 when they host University of Indianapolis. Kickoff is set for 12:00 p.m.
