Ferguson's Late Goal Leaves Gorloks Alone In First

Box Score The Webster University women's soccer team scored two late goals, including the game-winner by Allison Ferguson, for a come from behind 2-1 victory over Westminster College at the Soccer Park, on October 13.  The win put the Gorloks alone in first place in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference at 5-0.

The Gorloks had tied the game with 15:45 minutes left in regulation. Ferguson took a shot from inside the right corner of the Westminster box that was tipped by the Blue Jay goalie, but Kellie Cardine (JR, Chicago, IL/DeKalb HS) was on the doorstep to fire it in.  For Cardine, it was her second straight game with a goal, giving her two on the year.
