NOTRE DAME, Ind. --- The TIU women's soccer team took the trip to north-central Indiana on Saturday morning as they faced off against the Saints of Holy Cross College (IN) in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) play. Following a scoreless tie at St. Francis on Tuesday, the Trojans entered the week in search of a crucial win to aid in their push for the CCAC Tournament in November. 

Trinity would put pressure on Saints goalkeeper Taylor Primack, but could put any shots past her into the nets. Kate Jung would lead TIU's attack with five shot attempts with three shots on goal, while Kailynd Tubb put three shots on goal of her own.

Holy Cross would crack the scoreboard first in the 22nd minute as Nicole Cook scored on an assist by Olivia Shaw. Later in the second half, Shaw connected with Riley Chapla off a corner kick to put the Saints ahead by two. The Trojans would only get three shot attempts off in the final ten minutes as they fell to HCC by a 2-0 final.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• With their loss on Saturday, the Trojans fall to 11-4 all-time against Holy Cross. It is the fourth consecutive loss for TIU against the Saints in the last three seasons.

• Despite the loss, TIU still holds on to the eighth spot in the CCAC standings, with a one point lead on Governors State. The top eight teams at the end of the regular season qualify for the conference tournament. The Trojans have not missed the CCAC Tournament since 1995.

• The Trojans outshot Holy Cross 15-13 in the loss, but were outshot themselves in shots on goal, 10-7.

• Trinity played a very clean game with just three total fouls called against them. HCC was whistled for 14 total fouls.
