Davenport 2, Parkside 1
The Parkside women's soccer team will have to wait another week for a chance to grab their first win of the 2021 spring season. The Rangers led most of Sunday's game 1-0, but conceded two goals in the 76^th minute to Davenport's Madeleine Zayan.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The matchup proved to be a fairly even one between the Rangers and Panthers, with the Green & White striking first. The game's opening goal came in the 29^th minute when junior Samantha Nickell got on the end of a flicked-on header from freshman Isabelle Rivera, and slotted it home.
 
In the second half, the GLIAC foes battled back and forth with no real scoring chances on either side coming until the 76^th minute when Zayan stunned the Rangers with back-to-back goals to give the lead to the Panthers. Down the stretch, Parkside had a few more shots at the Davenport goal, but nothing seriously threatening the Panther goalie.
 
STATWORTHY
Nickell's goal is the first of her career. Also involved offensively were freshman Alexis Bolger, who had two shots on goal, and sophomore Alexis Baker, who had one. Rivera and redshirt-sophomore Myah Strokosch were both credited for an assist on the Ranger goal.
 
Looking at the team stats, there was not much at all to separate the two teams. Parkside finished the game with 16 shots and five on goal, while Davenport had 13 shots and seven on goal. Sophomore Izzy Guyer had five saves on the day, while the Davenport keeper had four.
 
WHAT'S NEXT
Next weekend, the Rangers will be at Wood Road Field for their final home game of the 2021 spring season. They'll host Purdue Northwest on Saturday, April 3 at 2:30 p.m. Following, they'll hit the road for their first time and travel to Saginaw Valley State for a matchup against the Cardinals on Friday, April 9 at noon.
