Hill Scores; PNW Women’s Soccer Falls to Tiffin (Ohio), 5-1
HAMMOND, Ind. – Despite a goal by freshman Allie Hill (Valparaiso, Ind./Boone Grove) in the game’s 38^th minute, the Purdue Northwest women’s soccer team could not overcome an early 3-0 deficit and fell 5-1 Friday to Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) foe Tiffin University (Ohio) at Pepsi Field in Dowling Park in Hammond, Ind.      

The Dragons got off to a hot start scoring goals in the 11^th, 22^nd and 23^rd minutes to build an early 3-0 advantage.  Hill recorded her goal from 10 yards out on the right side after taking a cross by junior Shelby Ross (Marquette, Mich./Columbus North) and sending it over the TU keeper to the left corner of the net.  Junior Kelley Sharp (Seymour, Ind./Seymour) posted seven saves for the Pride in Friday’s game.    

The score remained 3-1 at the break and well into the second half before Tiffin added two more goals to pull away for good.  The final two goals came in the 80^th and 87^th minutes of regulation.  TU’s Markella Suka finished with two goals and an assist, while Adrianna Currie tallied a goal and three assists Friday for the Dragons.   

Purdue Northwest (0-7-0 overall/0-3-0) completes a seven-game home stand on Sunday, October 1, hosting Ashland University (Ohio).  The game is scheduled for a 12 p.m. start at Pepsi Field.
