FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Indiana Tech women's soccer team defeated Davenport, 2-0, on a cold, rainy Saturday afternoon at Warrior Athletic Field. With the win, head coach Jim Lipocky got the 100th victory of his career and is now one of three active coaches in the WHAC with 100 career wins. The Warriors struck first when
Becca Hoklas struck one perfect from 35 yards out and put it just over the outstretched hand of Davenport keeper Tara Gessler in the 26th minute for her first goal of the season.
Tech would add a second goal just 39 seconds into the second half when
Jessica Marin notched her first goal of the year after heading one in from the right side off of a feed from
Jessica Zurcher.
Alena Payne would make nine saves on the day to record her third shutout of the year as the Warriors defense kept the Panther offense in check.
Indiana Tech (5-5-1, 1-1-1 WHAC) continues conference play on Wednesday when they host Madonna at Warrior Athletic Field. The game will serve as Pediatric Cancer Night as the Warriors are teaming up with Go4TheGoal as they "Lace Up for Pediatric Cancer" to help raise money for children affected by the illness.
