4- Women’s Soccer stuns Denison
The highlight of the women’s soccer season was the upset of Denison University. Denison was ranked as the eighth best team in the country at the time. The two squads battled back and forth, neither able to find the back of the net in the first 90 minutes of regulation. The Spartan defense held fast against the Denison attack led by fourth-year student and starting goalkeeper Meghan Romelfanger to stopped all six shots on goal while Denison took 21 shots. This sent the game into overtime where Makenzie Best stole the ball at midfield and beat the keeper to stun Denison and give the Spartans the win in the 107th minute of play. The win also gave head coach Tiffany Crooks her 77th victory tying her for the program record, which she will gain with her first win next season.
