HUNTINGTON, Ind. – A goal in each half propelled RV Taylor (7-3-2, 4-1-0 CL) to a 2-0 win over Huntington (5-4-4, 0-3-2 CL) on the road Saturday afternoon.
Audrey Grimm continued her sensational senior campaign with the opening goal, her team-leading eighth of the season. The Winona Lake, Indiana, native took the first five shots of the match for Taylor and found the back of the net after a terrific run down the wing by Libby Thomas, who dribbled into the box and crossed it to Grimm for the goal. The assist for Thomas was her fourth in the past two games.
The Trojans went into the break with a slim 1-0 advantage, as Huntington created a couple of opportunities themselves but were unable to get a shot on target.
A shot from distance from the Foresters nearly knotted the match at one early in the second half, hitting the crossbar before falling into the hands of Brianna Rawlings. Rawlings and freshman, Marisa Reinhard, combined for the shutout, with neither required to make a save due to the excellence of the Trojan defense.
Morgan Fletemeyer doubled the Taylor lead in the 69th minute after a corner kick resulted in a scramble in the box and the ball at her feet. Fletemeyer laced it into the upper 90 for her fifth goal of the season.
Taylor travels to Marion, Indiana, for a CL matchup against cross-county rival No. 17 Indiana Wesleyan (8-2-2, 3-0-1 CL) on Wednesday, October 16, with kick-off scheduled for 7:00 pm.
