METRO-EAST LUTHERAN 3, DECATUR LUTHERAN 2: Kaitlyn McDaniel’s 73rd minute strike gave Metro-East Lutheran the three points over Decatur Lutheran Tuesday evening at Knights Field.

Morgan Ashauer had a brace (two goals) for the Knights, scoring in both the second and 12th minutes, but goals in the 11th minute by Isabella Salefski and in the 32nd by Jolie Archer cancelled out Ashauer’s brace.

McDaniel got the winner on a ball that found its way to McDaniel, who deposited it past the far post into the corner to give Metro-East the win.

Taylor Bradley had five saves in goal for the Knights, while Emma Phillips had 18 saves for the Lions.
