Verbeten Nets Four as Carthage Beats North Park on Senior Day

KENOSHA, Wis. — The Carthage College women's soccer team defeated North Park 5-2 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) action on Saturday at Art Keller Field. 

Carthage (4-11, 2-4 CCIW) scored first as a through ball from McKenna Wallin hit Morgan Verbeten in stride. Verbeten beat the keeper in the 1v1 matchup to go up 1-0. In the eighth minute, Katie Cochran doubled the Firebirds lead as she put away a cross ball into the box. Verbeten tallied her second goal of the game with a bending shot around the keeper that hit the top left corner. North Park (3-12-1, 0-6 CCIW) rallied with a shot 30 yards out, hitting the top right corner of the net. Another long-distance goal for the Vikings, this time from 20 yards out, saw the lead shrink to 3-2 heading into halftime.
