WICHITA, KAN. - The Washburn Soccer team gets its first MIAA win of the season with a 1-0 over Newman.

"Today was a tough game in a challenging environment. The team was unlucky not to add one or two more, as we hit the post a few times and their keeper made a couple of really good saves. The girls, again, grew into the game pretty well and played a pretty good second half," said Head Coach Davy Phillips. "It was a great goal by Leah and an important three points for us. We're finding ways to get results, which is an important quality in successful teams."

The Ichabods score midway through the second half to earn their first win of MIAA Conference play.

FIRST HALF
Washburn was bombarding the Newman goal in the opening 45 minutes, even putting one off the post in the 22nd minute. They attempted 11 shots, with 4 of them on goal, forcing saves out of the Jets' goalie. The Ichabods held Newman to no shots in the first half.

SECOND HALF
Washburn started right where they left off by peppering the Newman goal. In the 67th minute, the Ichabods found a breakthrough by way of Freshman Leah Henke, who fired home her 4th goal of the season.
