NORTHFIELD, Minn. – On the road to continue the conference slate, the Macalester women's soccer team faced St. Olaf this afternoon.

Macalester is now 6-4 (4-1 MIAC).
 
In the first half, sophomore defender Becky Mulcahy (Baltimore, Md./Roland Park Country School) had the best chance for the Scots, but had her attempt saved. First year goalkeeper Abigail Heuga (San Francisco, Calif./Urban School of San Francisco) faced 12 shots, making three saves. The Scots and Oles were at a stalemate at the end of the first.
 
Heuga was forced to make multiple saves to begin the second half and keep the game level. Evans, first year forward Avery Ellis (Chicago, Ill./Lane Tech), and first year defender Timna Nevo (Portland, Ore./Sunset) created offensive chances to put pressure on the Oles. Then in the 78^th minute first year forward Julia Hanson (Weston, Mass./Weston) created a dangerous opportunity that was saved by St. Olaf. Evans was then able to put the ball in the back of the net and take the lead. Macalester denied the Oles any other clear chances, and won the game 1-0.
