ST. CATHARINES, Ont. – The Brock University women's soccer team (1-3-4 OUA) came from behind on Sunday afternoon to pick up their first win of the season by the score of 2-1 over the Waterloo Warriors (0-7-1 OUA).
The Warriors took the lead late in the first half on a goal scored by Tara Butterworth sending the Badgers into halftime trailing 1-0.
Brock answered back in the 75th minute on a goal from freshman
Megan Salisbury (Hamilton, Ont.).
The goal will be a memorable one for Salisbury as it is the first in her OUA career and it came off of a perfect cross from senior
Lindsay McDonald (Burlington, Ont.) setting up Salisbury for the flawless header.
The Badgers continued to put pressure on the Waterloo defense late in the second half managing to break through with the go ahead goal in the 87th minute.
The play began with McDonald putting another great cross into the box which was misplayed by Waterloo backup goalkeeper Kala Studens.
Kelly Miller (Brantford, Ont.) was right there on the edge of the crease to knock it in for her second goal of the campaign and the game winner.
In goal. Brock freshman
Jenna Vasiliaskas (Burlington, Ont.) recorded five saves for her first career OUA victory. Warriors starter Lesia Bandura added seven saves, before leaving the game in the 80th minute with a head injury.
