Thunder head coach
Pete Felske noted, “I think tonight was a tale of two halves. In the first half we came out flat and Carleton ran all over us.” He added, “That was a big goal right before halftime, I think it deflated Carleton a little bit and we needed that badly. Then in the second half we came out with a lot of energy. We told the team we needed to put some pressure on Carleton and we did that. We had a lot of energy and it was a much better second half for us. ”
Sophomore goalkeeper #Hilary Barreto# played the first 18 minutes of the match for the Thunder, allowing one goal. Freshman #Maddie Allen# was net for 72 minutes of action, making three saves with no goals allowed. Trenerry made five saves and allowed four goals for the Knights.

CARLETON KNIGHTS
The Carleton College women’s soccer team is making its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships after receiving an at-large bid.
