The Eagles came out determined and did not let the fact that Dakota started off the scoring discourage them.  A  "never give up" attitude paid off as Eisenhower handed the Dakota Cougars their first loss of the season.  Freshman Lexi Morrison tied it up when Senior Taylor  Stanley crossed the ball to the middle, which deflected off the keeper - Morrison put the rebound into the net heading into halftime at a deadlock.  The second half was a knock-down, drag-out battle with the winning goal coming late in the 2nd half.  The ball was played up from the midfield to Sophomore Makayla Belanger who flicked the ball perfectly to the feet of Senior Captain Lauren DeBeau.  DeBeau took the keeper on 1v1 and buried it in the net for the game winning goal  The back-line, led by Senior Captain Sarah Faloon held strong throughout the 2nd half with solid contributions by Senior Jessica Zelasko, Junior Abbie Fournier and Sophomore Grace Pabian.   

The Eagles host a non conference match on Friday vs. Regina - Varsity only at 6pm and then they take on MAC Red Foe, Anchor Bay in an important  matchup - Monday - JV at 4:30 and Varsity at 6pm.  Come on out and support Ike Soccer!!!
