Box Score The IU Columbus women's soccer team played host to Midway University on Saturday at Nexus Park. The Crimson Pride attacked early to set the tone for a 2-0 River States Conference win.

The Crimson Pride were able to get six shots off in the first 16 minutes against the visiting Eagles. Senior Madison Merritt, from Brookville, Indiana (Franklin County High School) raced ahead of everyone for a one-on-one look at Midway goalkeeper Lily Riordan and put the ball into the right half of the goal for a 1-0 lead at 26:13. 

Madelyn McIntosh, a sophomore from Commiskey, Indiana (Jennings County High School) scored the second goal of the half (assist by Jessica Finfera) seven minutes later to make it a two goal lead. The Crimson Pride had 10 shots in the first half, while holding the Eagles to just two shots.

The second half saw the Crimson Pride get nine more shots compared to just one shot for the Eagles. None of the shots turned into goals, and the final score was a 2-0 shutout for the Crimson Pride. There were two yellow cards given to each team late in the half.

Next on the schedule: The Crimson Pride continue River States Conference play as they host on Wednesday, October 14th at Nexus Park at 4:30 pm.
