The season is now officially over for WSOC, but it ended brightly, as the team battled a very good Buffalo team to a 2-2 double overtime draw. Rachel Bachman scored about half way through the match and Buffalo equalized just before half. Bachman hit again just past 50 minutes gone but Buffalo equalized 30 seconds later. Rylie Howman and Kiki got assists and Jiu was very active in goal and had several great saves. In fact she's the first Zipper GK to record 100 or more saves in a season, and she's just a freshman.
So, a win over Miami, followed by double OT draws with the top team from the West Ball State and the third best team in the East Buffalo to finish the season with a 3 match unbeaten streak. Not too shabby. Not great, but they didn't roll over and play dead after the long losing streak. And only 1 senior leaving. These women are not afraid to take the ball to the net and are beginning to learn how to give it as good as they take it physically. 2018 is a long way off, but I think this will be a MAC Tournament team in 2018. Z.I.P and I were both wrong on our predictions for the record....
