KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Sophomore forward Bailey Korhorn scored twice as the Western Michigan women's soccer team rallied to beat Purdue Fort Wayne, 2-1, at the WMU Soccer Complex on Thursday evening.
The Broncos (2-1-0) dominated play, outshooting the Mastodons 23-4 overall and 13-2 on goal. Sophomore goalkeeper Hannah Sargent made one save to pick up her second win of the season.
After a scoreless first half, the Mastodons struck first in the 60th minute. A Bronco defender brought down Purdue Fort Wayne's Kayla Wisniewski just outside the box. Deanna Hecht blasted the free kick past the wall and into the net for the 1-0 lead.
Western Michigan didn't waste time responding, tying the game up at 1-1 in the 63rd minute. Roselyn Kyeame played a ball behind the Mastodon back line to Korhorn and the sophomore slotted it past Lorah Pund for her first collegiate goal.
Korhorn's second came in the 74th minute on a free kick from the top-right of the box.
WMU kept the pressure on, registering 16 total shots in the second half.
