Bianca Greene

Caty von Brecht

The only goal of the first half was actually a crossing pass by Forester senior midfielder Katie Rice (Centennial, Colo./Eaglecrest) that deflected off a Knox defender into the goal at 23:51. Rice was credited with her second goal of the season and 20th of her career.

Freshman midfielder Kat Mikuta (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) started the second-half scoring less than eight minutes into the period with her second score of the year. She was assisted by sophomore midfielder Bianca Greene (Santa Monica, Calif./Santa Monica), who added a goal of her own less than a minute later. Greene then converted a penalty kick at 64:41 to make the score 4-0. Senior midfielder Caty von Brecht (Cumberland, Maine/North Yarmouth Academy) notched her first goal of the year 51 seconds later and Greene closed out the scoring with her third goal of the game at 68:32. It was the first career hat trick for Greene and her seven points were also a career-high.

Senior goalkeeper Alison Lynch (Dunlap, Ill./Peoria Notre Dame) recorded a save in each half and her second shutout in as many days. She has now blanked 14 opponents in her career and has not been scored upon by the Prairie Fire in the 209 minutes she has been on the field against them over the last four years.
