GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com)
- The Green Bay
women's soccer team (1-1-1) plays host to Eastern Illinois (2-2-0) Friday night
at Santaga Stadium at 7 p.m. It is the first of three consecutive home games
for the Phoenix - its longest home stand of the 2010 season.
Friday marks
the fourth meeting between the two schools, with the Panthers holding a 2-0-1
advantage in the all-time series. Most recently, Green Bay and Eastern Illinois
battled to a 2-2 overtime draw last season (Sept. 20) in Charleston, Ill.,
where the Phoenix out-shot the home team 22-9.
Green Bay is
coming off its first victory of the year, defeating North Dakota 2-0 on the
road last Sunday. Junior forward Laura
Hamer (Blaine, Minn.) tallied the team's first goal of the season, while
freshman forward Anna Kouba (Lino
Lakes, Minn.) recorded her first collegiate score. Freshman defender Hekla Palmadottir (Akranes, Iceland)
also got on the score sheet, issuing a pair of assists.
Phoenix
junior goalkeeper Maddie Drusch (Appleton, Wis.) posted her second shutout in three games this season in
Sunday's win over the Fighting Sioux. Drusch currently leads all Horizon League
goalies in saves (23), shutouts (2) and goals against (1 goal/0.31 average).
Eastern
Illinois opened the 2010 campaign with two straight victories, but has since dropped
its last two games. The Panthers beat IUPUI (2-0) and Evansville (1-0 OT), then
lost to Horizon League school Valparaiso (1-0) and Eastern Michigan (1-0).
