Seniors leave their mark with 2-0 win on Senior Day over Morris

UW-Stout 2, Minnesota-Morris 0

RIVER FALLS (October 27, 2019) - UW-Stout closed out the "home" portion of their schedule by marking Senior Day as the Blue Devils played their final non-conference game of the season against the University of Minnesota-Morris Sunday at Ramer Field on the UW-River Falls campus. And all of the scoring came from seniors today as the Blue Devils defeated the Cougars, 2-0,

With renovations on the Nelson Field Complex underway this fall, Ramer Field became the Blue Devils' (5-12-0) home-away-from-home this season. Seniors Sarah Dickmann, Hannah Kirchner and Bella Pedlar were recognized before the game with the Cougars. 

And the senior captains wasted no time leaving their marks on this game. Dickmann, who has played defense most of the season, moved up to midfield and got a breakaway and went straight up the middle to notch her first goal of the season in the sixth minute.

Pedlar also scored her first goal of the season, scoring in the 42nd minutes and punched a left-footed shot into the right upper corner of the net to make the score 2-0.

Stout outshot Morris 21-7 overall on the afternoon and put eight shots on net. Stout's Claudia Anderson had a relatively quiet afternoon, recording two saves for her third shutout of the season. The Cougars' (6-9-0) Bernadette Cienik recorded six saves. Stout had a decided advantage in corner kicks, chipping nine corner kicks to the Cougars' three.

Stout will close the 2019 season when they travel to UW-Eau Claire, Saturday, Nov. 2 for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
