CALEDONIA, Mich. – The Saginaw Valley State University women's soccer program earned three crucial points on Thursday with a 2-1 win at Davenport. The Cardinals (11-4-2, 9-3-1 GLIAC) fell behind in the second and scored two goals within 90 seconds of each other to complete the comeback.

A tightly contested first half left SVSU up in shots 7-5 with both teams putting three on frame. Davenport opened the scoring in the 54th minute when Sofia Capoccia found the net off a pass from Madison Fant. The Cardinals started to push back and control the match as they looked for the equalizer. They tied the match in the 81st minute as Lauryn Fracassi (Grandville, Mich. / Grandville HS) got a tip on the cross from Gracie Cwik (Bartlett, Ill. / Bartlett HS) for her sixth goal of the season. Just 86 seconds later, the Cardinals struck again — Emily Kolodin (Grand Blanc, Mich. / Grand Blanc HS) sent a cross into the box for Kaley Douglass (Williamston, Mich. / Williamston HS). She one touched the ball to the right edge of the six-yard box for Madi Bajis (Macomb, Mich. / Utica HS) who sent a strike to the far side, giving the Cardinals the lead with her GLIAC-leading 11th goal of the season.

The Cardinals outshot the Panthers 21–16 and placed 11 shots on target while holding a 5–2 edge in corner kicks. Lainey Garbarz (Pinckney, Mich. / Father Gabriel Richard HS) made nine saves in goal, including six in the second half, to preserve the victory.

Up Next: Saginaw Valley takes sole possession of second place in the GLIAC standings with one match to play. SVSU heads to No. 6 Grand Valley on Saturday and can claim second place with a point in the match or if Parkside loses to or ties Davenport in their final match. The Cardinals and Lakers are set for a 1:00 PM start in Allendale, Michigan.
