STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The Carthage College women's soccer team won their second game of the season, and their first on the road, Wednesday, September 23rd, knocking off the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, 1-0, at Point Soccer Stadium.
 
Carthage applied constant pressure down the stretch with a number of opportunities that were just out of the Lady Reds reach to apply a finishing touch. 
 
However, in the 82nd minute the Lady Reds would get the games lone goal as a long ball from Rachel Post in the midfield found a forward Maggie Washelesky in stride and after a couple touches buried a shot down the middle into the upper net.
 
For Washelesky, the goal is her team-leading fourth of the season and Post's first assist.
 
Carthage goalkeeper Kate Perry made four saves in the match, none bigger than with just over a minute remaining as the Pointers final attack was halted by Perry's save. The win was the first career shutout for Perry in just her third career start.
 
Carthage dominated much of the attacking aspect of the match with an 18-12 edge in total shot, and a 10-4 edge in shots on goal.  Carthage also dominated corners with a 8-2 advantage.
 
The Lady Reds return home for their next match Satruday, September 26th as the Lady Reds play host to Rhodes College at 1:00 pm at Art Keller Field.
