Last Wednesday, the Cavs faced off against the Cardinals in their first game of the spring season. The first half started off hot, and it didn\u2019t take long for the Cardinals to get the first goal of the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy head went straight to believing in my teammates,\u201d sophomore defender Emily Crosby said. \u201cI knew that there was no reason to think about their goal because I know everyone on our team is talented and that we would come back.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After that move, the Cavs fired up all cylinders, as freshman midfielder Tatum Bresette and sophomore forward Maya Wallace both managed to score a goal before the end of the first half.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe finally realized what formation they were playing,\u201d sophomore forward Jenna Knight said. \u201cOnce we were able to find the outside wings more, it was barbecue chicken from there.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

William Jewell struggled to keep up with the Cavs\u2019 unstoppable momentum in the second half. After a couple of previous shots, Wallace was able to thread the needle through defenders and send a laser-precise shot into William Jewell\u2019s net.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does the spring soccer season mean? What\u2019s the point of playing six exhibition matches in the off-season? It\u2019s all about getting newer players conditioned and ready for their next fall season, where they will find themselves as leaders filling in the shoes of their alumni.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe younger class is filled with great players with so much talent and just seeing how they\u2019ve grown in the past season,\u201d Sophomore midfielder and defender Sydney Puetz said. \u201cIt will be really exciting to see what they will accomplish next year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
