Defense and Doenges Propel Lady Jackets to a Win

DEFIANCE, Ohio – The Lady Jackets picked up their first win of the season on Saturday, as they shutout Waynesburg University, 2-0, in their second game of the Defiance College Classic. The Lady Jackets improve to 1-1 on the season with the victory.

Freshman forward, Janelle Doenges, made the difference for Defiance, picking up her first career goal off a feed from Dani Chadwick at the 20-minute mark in the first period, before putting the game out of reach with a second goal late in the second half.

Two goals were more than enough to secure the win for a Defiance squad that maintained possession of the ball for most of the game, and held Waynesburg scoreless while allowing only seven shots in the match. DC's starting goalkeeper, Kelly Coble, has now allowed only one goal in two matches this season, and boasts a .909 save percentage after 180 minutes of action.

The Lady Jackets end the 2010 DC Classic Tournament with a 1-1 record, and will get one week off before returning to action on Saturday, September 11, in a home game against Marietta College at 12:00 p.m.
