Women's Soccer Shut Out by Kenyon

DEFIANCE, OHIO- The Defiance women's soccer team was defeated by visiting Kenyon College, 6-0, in a non-conference game at Winsper-Knobel Field.

In the first half, the Kenyon (4-3) put up 20 shots with seven of those shots on net.  The Ladies struck for the first time in the game at the 12 minute mark on an unassisted goal to make it a 1-0 game.   Kenyon added two more goals before the end of the period during the 24th and 43rd minutes.  Defiance (1-5) freshman Maizy Lepkowski (Perrysburg) put the only shot for the Yellow Jackets on goal, but the shot was saved by the Kenyon goalkeeper.  The Ladies took a sizeable, 3-0, lead heading into the locker rooms. 

The second half continued to be a defensive show for the Jackets. The defense worked hard and hustled throughout the match, but the heavy shooting by Kenyon continued.  The Ladies tacked on three more scores before the final horn sounded with goals during the 62nd, 70th and 81st minutes.  A total of six different players found the back of the net for Kenyon as the Ladies cruised to the 6-0 final. 

Sophomore Meredith Remy (Mansfield/Ontario) made her second start of the season in goal for the Jackets and played the entire game. She 12 saves out of the 18 shots she faced. 

This Saturday (Sept. 19) the Jackets will be traveling to Bexley, Ohio to take on Capital University in a non-conference game. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
