Although the Chippewas have struggled offensively this
season, their defense has been able to keep them in many of the games. Behind
goal keeper, Sadie Lynn Reynolds, the team has only allowed double-digit goals
once, in a 10-3 loss to Delaware, in the first game of the season.
As a junior, she received Second Team All-Mac Honors, as
well leading the conference in saves (153), saves per game (8.05), and save percentage
(.739). Also, in the 2014 season, Sadie registered two shutouts, for a team who
went on to win the MAC.
Although Reynolds, a senior from Prospect, KY, has seen a
decline in some of her numbers from a year ago, it's games like today's,
where she demonstrated her importance to the team. With the Chippewas entering
the game with a 0-12 record, they were in need of a spark, and Reynolds
answered the call. In a game that went into double over-time, Sadie stopped
everything Missouri State shot at her, recording her first shutout of the season,
in a 1-0 win.
Using
this game as momentum, the Chippewas are looking forward to hosting Michigan at
home, this Sunday at 12:00 p.m., with much of the story line for this game revolving
around head coach, Molly Pelowski, who was the goal keeper for the Wolverines
from 2000-2004.
