Second half surge leads to win

TIFFIN -- After falling from the ranks of the unbeaten on Tuesday, the Heidelberg University Women's Soccer team bounced back with a 3-1 win over visiting Westminster College on Saturday. Trailing 1-0 at half, the Student Princes scored three times in the final 45 to secure the victory. 

Heidelberg moved to 3-1-1 on the season, with a road game at Bluffton coming on Tuesday. 

Tangled feet in the penalty area allowed theTitans to capitalize on a loose ball, taking a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute of action. 

Having regrouped during the intermission, HU went to work early in the second half. In the 50th minute, Viviana Palmer took a pass into the center of the box, shielded a defender and laid off a pass for Syd Hewer. Hewer's one-touch shot ricocheted off a defender's leg and looped into the net. 

Palmer was involved in the go-ahead goal in the 67th minute. Mallory Zavatchen drove down the right wing, knifed between defenders and sent the ball into the six. As the goalkeeper charged, Palmer, again, laid a pass off to a wide open teammate. This time, it was Caitlyn Cross, who calmly deposited the ball into the wide-open goal. 

With the Titans desperate for an equalizer, Heidelberg took advantage of a long, errant pass out of the Westminster end. Quickly played ahead on the foot of Hewer, she took two touches to avoid a defender and sent a cross into the box. Fortuitously, the ball found the foot of Alex Henning, who buried it for an insurance goal. 

Brigid Enright made seven saves in the victory.
