After opening the season with three
overwhelming losses and one mercur-
ial win over Missouri, the Michigan
women's soccer team (2-0 Big Te n, 3-3
overall) kicked off the Big TFen season
with two more wins over Purdue and
Indiana.
Friday, freshman Stephanie Chavez
stung Purdue (1-1, 8-2) with an over-
time goal, assisted by Abby Crumpton,
to beat the Boilermakers 2-1 in double
overtime. Senior Carissa Stewart, pia-
tooning with freshman Suzie Grech
this season, stopped eight shots, help-
ing to preserve Michigan's chances
heading into the second overtime.
Stewai-t's goalkeeping won her the sta-
tus of being first place on the Michigan
career saves list with 229 saves.
Michigan's foray into West Lafayette
was a tight battle throughout. The
WVolverines took the 1-0 lead on Vicky
Whitley's goal going into halftime.
They outshot the Boilermakers 8-5
in the process. After Purdue freshman
Annette Kent netted the equalizer in
the 62nd minute, the two teams wres-
tled without scoring for another 55
minutes.
The lack of scoring was not caused
by a lack of offense. In the first over-
time, the Boilermakers heavily pres-
sured Michigan, outshooting them 6-3,
but Stewart manag.ed to hold the fort
until her teammates could swing the
momentum.
Finally, Michigan point-leader Abby
Crumpton fed Chavez in front of the
goal in the 117th minute. The game-
winning goal was Chavez's second of
the year. At the game's end, Purdue
goalkeeper Elizabeth Boldt had 13
saves, but she could not keep the versa-
tile Michigan offense out of the net in
overtime.
After winning the hard-fought game
against Purdue, Michigan traveled to
Bloomington to face No. 22 Indiana
yestecrd ay. The Wolverines assaulted
Indiana early, rifling~ seven shots n
goal and six corner kicks in the first
half. Freshman Amber Wilson scored
her third goal of the season 19 minutes
into the game. (Grech took early advan-
tage of her turn in the goalie rotation.
turning away three of Indiana's eight
shots in the first half.
Michigan held onto a 1-0 lead until
Michigan's other leading scorer, Abby
Crumpton, finished off the Hoosiers
with an insurance goal at the 79 minute
mark.
After being outscored 10-1 in their
first three games, Michigan has
outscored their opposition I1I-I in their
last three victories. The reversal of for-
tunes has not been to a lack of quality
competition. Their victims, Missouri,
Purdue and Indiana, are a combined
18-6 on the season.
