The Bethel women's soccer team fell to the St. Catherine's University Wildcats, 3-0, in their final game of the 2024 season. The Royals finished the season with a record of 2-6-3 in the MIAC conference and 6-7-4 overall.
How It Happened:
- From the beginning, the Royals faced an uphill battle as the Wildcats, a team both undefeated and ranked second in the MIAC, peppered goalkeeper Kate Green with shot after shot early on. Green made nine critical saves in the first half to keep the Royals in a close game.
- Still, the Wildcats' offensive effort was rewarded with a goal 13 minutes in after a corner kick opportunity positioned them well to knock in the ball from close range. But the Royals' defense put on a lock-down performance for the rest of the half, and the teams headed into half with a 1-0 Wildcat lead.
- The Wildcats came out hard, looking to increase their lead in the second half, and despite a standout performance from Green, they were able to secure two additional goals at 60:20 and 84:34 to make the final score 3-0, Wildcats.
