Scouting The Mastodons
Purdue Fort Wayne opened the regular season with a 0-0 tie against Toledo on Thursday, Aug. 19. The result was the first win or tie against a Mid-American Conference school since 2013 when the Mastodons defeated Ball State 1-0. Zoe Greenhalge led the 'Dons in shots with three and had one shot on goal. Samantha Castaneda made her first collegiate start in goal against Toledo. She racked up eight saves and earned her first career shutout.
The sister duo of Morgan and Bella Reitano had a big impact on the 'Dons two exhibition matches earlier this season. The two combined for three goals and one assist.
Kayla Shebar also had an impact in the 'Dons two exhibition games, scoring two goals. Her quick acceleration and speed makes her a threat anytime she's on the field.
Scouting The Eagles
Morehead State opened the season with a 2-0 win over Alabama State. Abby Vanhoeve got the Eagles on the board with a goal at the 81st minute with an assist from Sarah Faloon. Colleen Swift added a 90th minute penalty kick goal to secure the win for the Eagles
