The Eisenhower Lady Eagles continued to hold on to their top spot in the MAC Red with a 3-1 Victory over the Dakota Cougars, on the road. The first half the Eagles seemed to have control of the game. Sophomore Grace DeJong delivered the assist to Junior Lexi Morrison who opened the scoring for the Eagles. Senior Captains Maria Riggio and Makayla Belanger partnered on the 2nd goal, as Belanger crossed the ball to Riggio who one-touched the ball with her left, hitting the net, heading into halftime with a 2-0 lead. After the half, things seemed to shift in the Cougars favor a bit, as the Eagles struggled to maintain possession and the opponents were able to chip away at the lead, getting a goal of their own early in the half. But shortly after Dakota's goal, Belanger drew a foul in the box and Riggio capitalized, earning her 2nd goal of the night with a clean strike on the PK, taking a 3-1 lead. The Eagles contained the game from there with Sophomore Keeper Amy Sidaway coming up with 6 saves and earning the win for the Eagles in the net.
