Cards Rally, Score Four Unanswered to Defeat Blue Knights

WHEELING, W.Va. – After falling behind 2-0 in the second half of Wednesday night's match, the Wheeling Jesuit Cardinals rallied to score four unanswered goals to defeat the Urbana Blue Knights, 4-2.

"Wow, what can you say about the second half performance. We were poor in the first half but we found a spark in the second half with Jenny's two goals and carried on from there," WJU head coach Tyler Absalom expressed.

Hartley and Lavengood each finished with a goal and an assist in the match. Meghan Horan, Kristen Garland, Cameron Smith and Micah Miller finsiehd with a shot apiece.
 
The Cardinals complete the 2016 regular season with a Saturday match against the Charleston Golden Eagles. The match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 and the five Cardinal seniors will be honored.
