UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. - The Saginaw Valley State University women’s soccer team defeated Tiffin University this afternoon (Oct. 9), 3-1, in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) matchup

The Cardinals got on the board first when freshman Lara English (Charlotte, Mich. / Charlotte HS) scored her first career goal at the 24 minute mark. Saginaw Valley would then go up 2-0 as sophomore Samantha Echols (Walled Lake, Mich. / Walled Lake HS) found the back of the net off a pass from junior Amanda Kady (Macomb, Mich. / Eisenhower HS). Tiffin would cut the lead to 2-1 61 minutes into the contest. SVSU would answer back, though, with a goal off the foot of senior Jaclyn Barrett (Williamston, Mich. / Williamston HS) for her eighth goal of the season.

With the win, Saginaw Valley improves to 9-1-2 overall, and 6-0-2 in the GLIAC, while Tiffin falls to 3-4-2 overall and 3-3-2 in conference play. The Cardinals will be back in action when they host the University of Findlay Sunday (Oct. 11) for a 12:00 pm contest.
