Rangers Strong Second Half Leads to Comeback Win over Tigers

Ada, Oklahoma - The Rangers traveled to Ada, Oklahoma to play East Central University. The Rangers and Tigers kept the score neck and neck throughout the first half up until the end of the match. The Rangers overtook the Tigers 4-2 following four unanswered goals from two late in the opening half and two late second half.

With the Rangers win over the Tigers, Northwestern moves to a record of 4-3-1, (1-1 GAC) and the Tigers to 1-5-3. 

"A fantastic team performance today.  Going down 2-0 put us in a tough spot, but we showed tremendous character to equalize the score before halftime.  In the second half we played some of our best soccer of the season and finished our opportunities" stated head coach Alex Piekarski.

The Tigers conceded their first goal twenty minutes into the match from inside the eighteen-yard box. Within five minutes the Tigers scored again from a header off of a corner kick. This will take the Tigers 2-0 over the Rangers.

The Rangers responded quickly and scored their first goal moments after the Tigers jumped out to their lead. Jazlyn Norwood sent in a perfectly placed long ball, thirty-five yards out, for Callie Haneborg to head into the back of the Tiger's net for their first goal of the match. Two minutes later, Tiara Campbell scored the Rangers second goal of the match with an assist from Cynthia Armas. The Rangers went into half-time tied 2-2 with East Central. 

Starting the second half, the Rangers and Tigers battled it out defensively until the Rangers were able to connect on their third goal of the match. With only twelve minutes left in the match, Isabella McMillan placed a corner kick for Kailani Kealoha to put in the back of the net. This encouraged the Rangers to push for a fourth goal that was made from a one touch shot by Aaliyah Acevedo, thirty yards out, with less than two minutes left in the match to seal Northwestern's victory. 

Next up, the Rangers will play at home against Ouachita Baptist University on Thursday, September 29th at 5:00 PM for their first conference home game of the season.
