ST. BONIFACIOUS, MINN.- The Northland College LumberJills were determined to get a win for many reasons; revenge for senior Kayla Damiano, and moving up in conference to name a few. The Jills did exactly what they came to do, defeating Crown College 1-0 in regulation. Freshman keeper Emily Romuald (Fon du Lac, Wisc.) came up with big saves for the Jills, including a one-on-one opportunity against Crown's leading scorer.

In the second half, Northland began to string passes together, and get back to team soccer. Freshman Laura Rethmann (Nashville, Tenn.) netted her second game winning goal in a row, scoring in the 82nd minute of the game. After the goal, senior Mikayla Jaeckel (Fort Atkinson, Wisc.), freshman Madison Erie (Red Wing, Minn.), freshman Shona Aird (Oak Park, Ill.), and junior Charlotte Edminster (St. Paul, Minn.) held tough on defense, shutting down Crown's attackers. 

With the win today, the Jills improved to 4-6 in conference, and 8-7-1 overall. The Jills will play at home on October 24th at 3:15 p.m.
