Women’s Soccer Drops Home Opener to St. Thomas

STEVENS POINT, Wis. -- The UW-Stevens Point women's soccer team (0-1-0) played short-handed in its home opener and suffered a 3-0 defeat to visiting St. Thomas (1-0-0) on Thursday afternoon at Point Soccer Bowl.  Head coach Dawn Crow had 12 players available to begin the match and at times in the second half played down a player.
 
Her team battled a solid St. Thomas side and held their own defensively for much of the match.  The Tommies scored goals in the 13th and 25th minutes of action to go into the break up, 2-0.
 
Sophomore Dani Ganser (Wauwatosa, WI/Wauwatosa West) fired the Pointers' lone shot of the match in the 15th minute, but it sailed wide.  Later in the half, freshman Reilly Louko (Oakfield, WI/North Fond du Lac) had a break-away attempt, but the UST defense converged to tackle her at the top of the 18-yard box.
 
In the second half, the Pointers defense intensified.  Despite being down to 10 players at two different times, UWSP allowed just a single second-half goal against.  Sophomore transfer Olivia Mecham (Waunakee, WI/Waunakee) played all 90 minutes in net and made eight saves.  She also got help from the woodwork as St. Thomas hit both the post and the cross bar in the match.
 
UWSP continues a two-match home stand on Saturday with a 1:00 p.m. kick off versus Macalester.
