Women’s Soccer Clipped at Defiance
 
DEFIANCE, Ohio – Juniors Abby McCollough and Kelly Mayhew both hit the crossbar, but the Earlham College women’s soccer team failed to find the back of the net as Defiance edged the Quakers 1-0 in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) action on Wednesday.

Defiance scored the game’s only goal in the 10th minute as a shot from Jillian beat Earlham goalkeeper, senior Ashley (A.J.) Johnson. The Quakers would outshot the Yellow Jackets 10-7 in the first half.

Earlham kept the offensive pressure up in the second half and almost equalized when a Mayhew shot rattled off the crossbar in the 55th minute. Still trailing 1-0 in the closing moments, the Quakers fired three shots in the last 3:30, but none reach goal.

Overall, the Quakers held a 15-13 shots edge including a 5-3 edge in shots on goal. Defiance goalkeeper June Delgreco was up to the task, however, stopping all five shots. Johnson and freshman Maritza Santos each played a half for the Quakers. Santos made one save in the second session.

Junior Micaela Bush fired six shots with two coming on net. McCollough took three while Mayhew and fellow junior Cherrah Barclay each fired two shots.

Earlham will conclude its 2015 season on Saturday with a 1 p.m. match against first-place Franklin at Matlack Field.

Women’s Basketball prep for season opener

October 23, 2015

Dayton, Ohio – First year head coach Victoria Jones (took over halfway through last season) is prepping for Sinclair Women’s Basketball season opener on Monday November 2nd against UC Clermont College and home opener on Monday November 9th against Cedarville University.  The Pride were 19-12 (8-6) last season which was good enough for a third place tie with Cincinnati State in the OCCAC, but first place is what every team strives for.

Sinclair is projected to place fourth this season in the OCCAC Women’s Basketball preseason coach’s poll with Owens projected to repeat as champions.

Top returner, Alona Skipper, finished fourth on the team last season with 9.4 points per game.  Also, Jones was able to recruit Madison Schroeder (6’1”) who averaged 7.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game for NCAA Division II Ursuline College last season.

This season is looking to be an exciting one for our Women Tartans.  The schedule includes a “Pink Game” for breast cancer awareness on February 17th against The Ohio State University-Lima at 5:30 P.M.  Sophomore night for the Women’s Basketball Team will be held on February 27th against Edison Community College at 1:00 P.M.
