DANVILLE, KY – The Streaks' two-game weekend ended strong with a big win over Centre College.

John Carroll is 2-0 over the Colonels this season after a 2-1 win this afternoon.  

The Blue Streaks made history in September, getting their first-ever program win after defeating the Colonels 1-0 in a shootout victory. They were ready to bring that same energy into their second match against the team. 

A slow first half ended with no goals from either side of the ball. It was a very even match, with both teams taking 7 shots on goal. 

As the second half began, the Colonels came out hot. A penalty corner for Centre gave way to a Colonels goal at 36:10. They took the 1-0 lead over the Streaks. John Carroll was unable to find the back of the cage for the remainder of the quarter, only taking 2 shots on cage.

As the last 15 minutes began, the Streaks began to find their groove. Just as the fourth quarter began, Kierra Maxie found the back of the cage, making it a tied ballgame. 

It looked as if the game was going to enter extra time. However, a penalty corner for the Streaks with just 30 seconds left in the game gave the Streaks some hope. Freshman Morgan Payne capitalized on this opportunity and gave the Streaks the 2-1 lead just in the nick of time. 

The Blue Streaks' late goal handed them the 2-1 victory over the Colonels and left them 2-0 on the weekend in Kentucky.

The Streaks had a solid game, with 15 shots and 5 corner opportunities on the day. The defensive unit stood strong, only allowing 1 goal this afternoon.
