Sun, May 19, 2013 No Event(s) Scheduled For Selected Date Soccer Opens Conference With Win at Stout By: Kevin Meinholz, Sports Information Director MENOMONIE, Wis. (UWECBlugolds.com) - The UW-Eau Claire women's soccer team kicked off Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) play with a 2-1 overtime victory over UW-Stout at Nelson Field today. The goal came on a penalty kick after the Blue Devils were called for a foul in the goal box just under four minutes into overtime. Shyla Gilbertson (Fr.-Waunakee, Wis.) found the back of the net for the win, scoring her third goal of the season. Stout (0-5-0, 0-1-0 WIAC) recorded its first goal of the season, taking the early lead on Eau Claire (2-2-1, 1-0-0 WIAC) with a goal at 27:15. It took the Blugolds almost 40 minutes to respond to tie the game back up. At 64:58, Richelle Shannon (Jr.-Eau Claire, Wis./Memorial) scored her first goal with the Blugolds to bring the game back to 1-1. Eau Claire finished the game outshooting the Blue Devils 17-6, including 1-0 in the overtime period. The Blugolds also had a number of opportunities near the goal with eight corner kicks on the night while Stout recorded just one. Emily Kidd (So.-St. Paul, Minn./Como Park) played the entire game in the net for Eau Claire and recorded one save while allowing one goal. Kaitlin Arjes was in-goal the entire night and finished with four saves while giving up two goals. Eau Claire now begins a three-game home stand this weekend.
