The Eisenhower Girls Soccer teams traveled to Dakota on Wednesday to take on the Cougars in another cold and windy battle.  The teams were initially, evenly matched – each having opportunities to put pressure on the others defense.  Midway through the first half, Eisenhower was able to gain an advantage when Sophomore Katie Van De Winkle tallied her first Varsity goal to give the Eagles a 1-0 lead.   Just before the half, Junior Elena Medina would also earn her first Varsity goal, when she was able to gain control of a loose ball just in front of the Dakota keeper, hitting the back of the net and giving Eisenhower a 2-0 lead at halftime. 

After the break, the Cougars were able to put some pressure on the Eisenhower back-line, but the Center-back duo of Senior Captain, Natalie Tangelder and Van De Winkle helped Junior Captain Amy Sidaway keep a clean sheet.   Midway through the half, Senior Captain Lily Arcari was able to earn her first goal of the season when she brought the ball through the mid-field striking a worm burner in to the lower left corner, putting Ike up 3-0.   Junior Viveca Krolczyk, relieved Sidaway in the net and was able to make a key save in the waning minutes of the game, helping to secure the 3-0 shut out. 

The Eagles travel to Anchor Bay on Thursday to take on the Tars in their first MAC Red game of the season, JV kicking off at 4:30pm and Varsity at 6:30.
