VERONA, Wis. -- The Sabercats experienced a drumming from Edgewood College today, falling to the Eagles 10-0.

OVERVIEW

  • Result: Maranatha 0-10 Edgewood
  • Venue: Edgewood College Field, Reddan Park

STORY

 Coming off back-to-back losses against ranked NCCAA teams, the Sabercats were heavily outgunned by the Edgewood Eagles. Edgewood needed just three minutes to break through the Maranatha defense and take the lead. From there, the Eagles never looked back, depositing six goals in the first half alone.

By the horn at the end of the second half, the Sabercats had lost 10-0. With the loss, however, were a few positives. Kysenia Hassenplug logged 67 minutes in just her second game since her return to the team, marking her first start and longest outing since returning. Olivia Vander Pluym and Gabrielle Torres both continued to wrack up more minutes since returning from injuries.
