Facing their first real conference challenge, the Belles continued to show that they'll give everything they have to reach their goal -- an MIAA championship.
Saint Mary's took another step toward its final destination Wednesday, posting a 3-1 win over Kalamazoo in its home conference opener. The win kept the Belles undefeated in MIAA play and extended their overall record to 3-0.
The Belles fell behind early in the first half, with Kalamazoo scoring to make it 1-0 and playing a physical game that seemed to give Saint Mary's trouble. But sophomore midfielder Ashley Hinton evened the game later in the first half off an assist from Carrie Orr. Thanks to an assist from Orr, Hinton scored on a corner kick to tie it 1-1 at the end of the first period.
Luckily for the Belles, the rest of the game was a much different story.
"We were a little shaky in the first half, especially after they scored their first goal," Orr said. "But we came back out in the second half and settled down. Everyone did a really good job of getting their heads back into the game and just playing good soccer." In the final period, the score remained tied until Jen Concannon buried a cross from Carolyn Logan for her third goal this season. Logan would also assist Katie Noble for an insurance goal late in the game.
