Fort Dodge, IA – After suffering its first loss of the season on Wednesday, No. 5 Indian Hills Women's Soccer bounced back with a 2-0 conference victory on the road at Iowa Central Community College. The Warriors improve to 16-1-0 overall and 5-1-0 in Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) play.
Indian Hills collected its second win of the season over Iowa Central, both by way of a shutout. After a scoreless first half, the Warriors buried two goals late in the second frame to secure the win. The 16 wins on the year tie a program record for victories in a season, matching the 2016 squad that went 16-4-1.
Freshman keeper Sydney Ray Anderson (Elkhart, IA/North Polk) kept the Tritons scoreless for the first 45 minutes of action. The Warrior offense controlled the pace of play, but were deadlocked with Iowa Central at intermission.
The Warriors finally broke through 15 minutes into the second half as Abbie Bailey (Redditch, England/Arrowvale) collected a loose ball off a corner kick and placed a left-footed shot over the outstretched arms of the Tritons' keeper. Bailey's goal was the second of the season for the defender.
Indian Hills added an insurance goal in the 83rd minute from sophomore captain Makayla Reed (Waverly, IA/Waverly-Shell Rock). The sophomore received a close-range through ball in the box from Georgie Lewis (Bowral, Australia/Australia) for her third goal of the season.
Anderson closed out the match to preserve the shutout with three saves for her second win of the season.
Saturday's match concludes regular season conference play for Indian Hills. The Warriors added a late match to its schedule, the regular season finale against Motlow State Community College at 1:00 PM on Oct. 20. The two teams will square off in St. Louis, MO at the Creve Couer Soccer Complex.
