RECAP: Women's Soccer bounced back from an early deficit at Kentucky Wesleyan Saturday afternoon (October 25). The Panthers struck early, but Northwood responded with four second-half goals to claim a 4-1 victory.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Kentucky Wesleyan struck first in the 12', as a shanked Northwood clearance left the Panthers with an open shot just outside the right corner of the 18-yard box, giving them an early 1-0 lead.
Northwood struggled to find rhythm in the first half but kept the deficit to a single goal while generating a few late chances and holding a 3-1 advantage in corner kicks.
The Timberwolves responded in the second half, with Claire Gonyea leveling the match in the 61' off a long clearance from Reagan Brengman down the right side, 1-1.
Carly Boyd put Northwood ahead in the 68' on an assist from Gonyea. A precise sequence following an Annaliese Sabo throw-in saw the ball headed twice—from Ella Boyd to Gonyea—before Carly Boyd finished into the lower left corner, 2-1.
Sabo followed up with her first career goal in the 74', making it 3-1. Kendall Buchman's pass at the top of the box created space for Sabo to dribble and finish over the outstretched keeper with her left foot.
Buchman added an insurance goal in the 89', capping the scoring at 4-1. She lofted Northwood's seventh corner of the match, which was batted around before going over the keeper into the net.
Northwood dominated offensively, outshooting the Panthers 12-4 (9-1 in the second half) and controlling corners 7-1 (4-0 in the second half) in the 4-1 victory.
