Women’s Soccer Strikes First, Tops Ohio Northern

The Hope College women's soccer team struck first this time, and it made all the difference.

The Flying Dutch topped Ohio Northern University, 1-0, on a soggy Saturday at Van Andel Soccer Stadium after freshman forward Avery Plummer (Traverse City, Michigan) scored in the first 3 minutes and 11 seconds.

Hope (3-2-1) rebounded from a 2-1 home loss to Case Western Reserve University on Friday, when the Spartans charged to a two-goal lead within the opening nine minutes.

Plummer's fourth goal of the season started when senior forward Halle Barnard (Rockford, Michigan / Rockford) tracked down a long pass up the far sideline.

Barnard sprinted past a defender for possession at about the 25-yard mark and dribbled to the far end of the penalty area before turning at the end line and crossing the ball to Plummer a few yards away.

Plummer blistered a right-footed shot that landed in the left corner of the net.

Hope dominated the first half, outshooting the Polar Bears 12-0.

Ohio Northern (2-1-2) stayed within striking distance throughout the second half, taking six of the period's nine shots.

Senior goalkeeper Clara Feenstra (Hudsonville, Michigan / Hudsonville) made two saves for her second shutout of the season and the 11th of her career.

The Flying Dutch will now play their next three games on the road before returning home on Saturday, Oct. 3, at noon against Alma College for Senior Day and Poster Day.
