The midfield and defenders worked together to keep Romeo from developing any consistent offense for the remainder of the game supporting G Molly Mellott as IKE recorded their 5th shutout of the year. Julia ANIEL patrolled the middle of the field all day and made numerous sideline throw-ins to help keep the play in IKE’s end of the field.

EISENHOWER EAGLES 1 - TROY COLTS 2
The Eisenhower Girls Varsity Soccer team fought to the end, and experienced their first loss of the season to the undefeated Troy Colts. It was a very evenly matched game that came down to a few bounces. Troy’s offense was kept in check for much of the contest, other than a unpredictable bounce off of free kick that found the back of the net and a toe kick goal from one of Troy’s hustling forwards. Eisenhower came right back, cutting the lead in half with a long pass from Julia Aniel across the field to a sprinting Ellera Jakubowski who slid the ball past Troy’s goalie. This was Aniel’s fifth assist of the year and Jakubowski’s sixth goal of the season. With 15 seconds remaining in the game, Eisenhower shot a free kick that was volleyed back and forth; Goalie Molley Mellott came way out of goal to support her offense and centered the ball up to Forward Ava Dukaj that had her goal tying shot knocked aside by Troy’s goalie.
