Tulsa, OK- The IPFW women’s soccer team finished up its 2008 campaign this afternoon against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Knowing the Summit League playoffs were out of reach, the Mastodons entered this afternoon with nothing to lose. The young ‘Dons played whole-heartedly the entire game, but ended up losing to the Golden Eagles, 4-0.

The Oral Roberts offense made their impact early in the contest after firing the game’s first five shots. The first goal came in the 11th minute from Correne Walker, who fired a shot into the left corner of the goal, to make the score 1-0. Three minutes later, the Golden Eagles found the scoreboard again after Natalyn Manyan scored off a deflected ball from IPFW goalkeeper Kristen McFadden, making the score 2-0. At the 23rd minute, Golden Eagle Lorena Soto scored off another deflected ball from McFadden, to make the score 3-0. The score remained 3-0 heading into halftime.

The second half was much of the same for the Mastodons as Oral Roberts kept up the offensive pressure. The Golden Eagles received its fourth and final goal in the contest from Correne Walker, her second of game. The ‘Dons fired six shots in the second half, but none ended in the back of the net. For the game, IPFW had eight attempts.

The 'Dons received two shots a piece from Melanie Esposito and Tammi Kerr, and one shot each from Brittany Climmons, Kateri Till, Tara O’Toole, and Kiley Miller. McFadden had seven saves in 90 minutes of action.

The Mastodons will look to reload and start clean in the 2009 fall season.
