The Ike Girls Varsity Soccer Team was able to maintain their 1st place spot in the MAC Red Division with a win over Dakota on a cold and breezy night at Swinehart Stadium in front of a rather large crowd!!   Dakota jumped to an early lead,  when a player broke free of their defender and was able slip the ball just passed the keeper.  But the scoring was not done for the night and the Freshmen duo of Julia Aniel and Ellera Jakubowski, made sure of it.  Headed into the 20th minute,  Aniel received a perfect corner kick from Senior Captain Chloe O'Loughlin, answering with a beautiful header to even the score 1-1.  Just two minutes later as the offense tried to work the ball forward,  Senior Captain Grace DeJong passed a ball which was deflected to Jakubowski who took a touch to her right side, around a defender and drilled it into the upper netting, putting Ike on top 2-1 and earning her 7th goal of the season. 

The 2nd half had the Eagles on their heels a bit, finding it difficult to get the ball out of the backfield with the wind in their faces.  They managed to keep Dakota in check with strong play in the midfield by O'Loughlin, and Senior Elena Medina and the back-line led by Juniors Katie VanDeWinkle and Hadley Farr, and another 1st year Sonjia Peterson.  The offense had some great opportunities and strung together some great pass combos, led by DeJong,  Jakubowski, Senior Marisa Merski and Junior Ava Dukaj,  but the score remained 2-1, with Senior Captain Amy Sidaway getting the win, in net. 

Up next the Eagles host the Romeo Bulldogs on Wednesday at Swine, in a rather big MAC Red matchup.   MHSSA will be broadcasting the game LIVE - so come on out and pack that stands!!!  JV kicks off at 4:00 with Varsity to follow at 5:30pm.  Let's go EAGLES!!!
