Story 5

                Wednesday, October 19th, heading into their last regular season game with a record of 9-6-1 Anoka-Ramsey Women’s soccer pulls out with another win. Adding one more W to their postseason record, they defeated Northwestern JV, 2-0, coming off a win four days prior in Bismarck, North Dakota.
                From when the ball was first kicked off at 4P.M by Anoka-Ramsey Rams, both teams had a sense of urgency to finish out their seasons the way they wanted to, to gain confidence for the upcoming playoffs. Although it was Northwestern JV, Northwestern showed up with almost their entire varsity squad line-up. As the “underdogs” with not much supporting fans for the home team, Rams had pulled out their energy from one another.
                Anoka-Ramsey shattered the Northwestern Wildcats on goal 10-2. Northwestern had put 2 shots on goal, both saved by Rams goalkeeper Alexis Walker. Though Walker didn’t see much action in their final regular season game, Anoka-Ramsey had kept Northwestern’s goalie involved throughout the whole game. They had put 10 shorts on the goal, 8 of which that were saved.
                Going into the 28th minute, Midfielder Hailey Kramer #24 scored the first goal in the game. From Kramer’s unassisted breakaway, she got her shot off on goal 35 yards out in the first half. The second and final goal to pull the Rams lead up to two was, Brehana Hooker. The goal came off Molly Larson’s corner kick early in the second half, the 60th minute into the game. The game slowly started coming to an end with fewer shots on goal in the final 30 minutes.
                “It was a great way to end our season, going into the playoffs another win was just what we needed,” Midfielder Molly Larson added at the results of their game. “We just need to keep our teamwork going and our confidence up.”
                Anoka-Ramsey will open up their playoffs October 22nd, at home against Bismarck State College.
