#-denotes Mid-American Conference Tournament
FIRST TIMERS
Brooke Livingston (So., Lislie, Ill.) and Stephanie Wilson (Sr., Elma, N.Y.) both scored the first goals of their careers two weeks ago. Livingston scored her goal against DePaul in the 10th minute on a header off a corner kick from Danielle Hays (Sr., Apex, N.C.). Wilson scored the first goal of her career a day later against then-No. 26 Louisville. Wilson bent her goal in from the right side of the field from just inside the 18-yard box. The ball bent just inside the far post and the keeper for Louisville could only stand and watch the ball hit the back of the net.
IN THE "ZWING" OF THINGS
Jodi Zwingelberg (Jr. Elgin, Ill.) posted two assists against rival Cincinnati with dishes to goal machine Sara Lund (Sr., Malmo, Sweden) and Stephanie Laser (Jr., Hillsdale Ill). With those two assists, Zwingelberg equaled her 2007 point total and rocketed up the Mid-American Conference leader board. Zwingelberg surpassed her 2007 point total with her goal against Sacramento State, the junior now has four points on the campaign.
SWEET SWEDE
Sara Lund (Sr., Malmo, Sweden) has five goals on the season, Lund is only two away from equaling her 2007 total. Lund earned Mid-American Conference Player of the Week honors following her performance in the RedHawks' season opener on Aug. 22.
Lund started the season off with a bang against Morehead State with the first hat trick of her career. After the RedHawks went down 1-0 to Morehead State, Lund put up three unanswered goals to give the Red and White a 3-1 victory. Lund scored all three goals in a hard-earned fashion. Lund scored her first goal by beating a defender and then firing a shot that hit goalie Sam Yocke and got into the net. The second goal by Lund had to be the most unlikely as she hit the near post and the ball ran along the goal line striking the far post and then entering the goal before Yocke could fall on it. The third goal of the day by the 5-foot-7 sophomore was a brilliant sliding shot.
BOFF TAKES OVER FOR PACE
After Krista Pace (Jr. Toronto, Ontario) left with an injury against DePaul, Rachelle Boff (So., Naples Fla.) made only the second appearance of her career and then made the second start of her career against Louisville. In the game against Louisville, Boff made a team-high eight saves. It was the most stops by a Miami keeper in 2008. On the road trip to California, Boff posted her first career shutout against San Jose State on Sept. 21. Boff tied her career high with eight saves against Central Michigan.
INTERNATIONAL REDHAWKS
The Red and White have nine international players. Sara Lund, Eva Candia, Sarah Dessfelt, Nathalie Hillgren and Alexandra Karlsson are all from Sweden. Five are from Malmo, a port city on the southern tip of the country. Dessfelt is from Vellinge. Miami also has four players from Canada; Courtney Clarke, Haley Clark, Krysti Clarke and career saves leader Krista Pace.
LAST TIME OUT VS. CENTRAL MICHIGAN
Rachelle Boff (So., Naples, Fla.) tied a career high with eight saves, Miami was also credited with a team save to give the RedHawks nine stops on the day. Haley Clark (Fr. London, Ontario) led Miami in shots with four including two on goal.
Miami fell behind in the 21st minute when Stephanie Martin gave the Chippawas the lead. Jenna Hill added a goal in the 42nd minute off a pass from Amanda Waugh. Erica Rohren closed scoring in the game with a goal in the 60th minute off of an assist from Martin.
