The Whitewater girls played Chapel Hill last Tuesday and won 4-2. Goals were scored by freshman Jade Ah-low (2), Kayla Emerson, and Claire Huff. The Lady Wildcats fell behind 2-0 in the first five minutes of the game due to some unorganization in the back. According to coach Heather Allen, the girls finally settled down, got it together and started coming back. “Our defense then stepped it up a notch and did not let any more goals in,” said Allen. Great defense was played by Katie Schwartz, Allison Fannin, Jordan Brown, and Caitlin Beale. Lacey McGowan, a freshman midfielder, also had a terrific game.
