Eagles Start Conference Play With Big Win

Elgin, IL - The Eagles put in a challenging spot before the game even began, came away with a hard fought victory to open up CCAC Conference play on Saturday. Judson, down two starters, netted a goal in each half to defeat the Roosevelt Lakers 2-0. 

The Eagles now stand at 2-2-1, and 1-0 in coference on the season. 

The first half goal was scored in the 40th minute by senior Alex Wawrzyniak (Round Lake Beach, IL). 

In the second half, in the 75th minute to provide a little breathing room, the second goal was scored by junior Maria Artaloitia who received a spot start today. 

The third star of the game was in goal for Judson. Freshman Eva Fernandez made some dazzeling saves in net to maintain the shutout all game long. Roosevelt out shot JU 16-8, which made every save by Fernandez, eight in total, that much more meaningful. 

It was a great team win for the Eagles to open up conference play on the right side of the ledger. 

The Eagles will continue conference play next Saturday when they travel to Joliet, IL to take on Saint Francis.
