K-State Battles Purdue on Sunday Afternoon
Sep 04, 2022 | Soccer
MANHATTAN, Kansas - In a first half marred by a combined five yellow cards and a Purdue player sent off on accumulation of yellows, K-State was unable to overcome a pair of early Boilermaker goals and fell 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at Buser Family Park. The Wildcats are now 2-3-1 on the season, while the Boilermakers improve to 3-3-0.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- In the fifth minute, Purdue went on top with a cross from Emily Mathews to Zoie Allen who finished from close range.
- Purdue upped its advantage to 2-0 in the 25th minute. Riley Knudsen covered the topography of the field with a long, direct pass through the K-State defense. Gracie Dunaway, Purdue's leading scorer, raced onto the ball and scored from 20 yds out for her fourth goal of the season.
- During the first half, K-State was whistled for a season-high three yellow cards while Purdue's Sabrina Blount was sent off on yellow card accumulation in the 43rd minute forcing the Boilermakers to play with 10 players in the second half.Â
- In the second half with the player advantage, K-State outshot Purdue, 8-2.Â
- The Wildcats generated a strong, promising charge at goal in the 80th minute. Sophomore forward Riley Baker was hauled down in the Purdue box, winning a penalty kick for the Wildcats.
- Sophomore Adah Anderson stepped forward to take the first penalty kick attempt of her collegiate career. Purdue goalkeeper Sara Kile dove to her right to make the save and snuffed out the K-State chance. Kile ended the afternoon with 11 saves, tying the Buser Family Park record for saves by an opposing goalkeeper.
- It was the first opposing save of a K-State penalty kick since August 19, 2018 and the first penalty kick taken by a Wildcat player other than Brookelynn Entz since Katie Cramer attempted a kick at San Jose State on September 2, 2018.Â
- Shortly after the penalty stop in the 87th minute, senior forward Kyler Goins blasted a shot from 25 yards on the left side of the field past Kile into the lower right corner to close the gap to one.
- Goins leads the Wildcats with three goals and six points on the season.
- With a last desperate attack, K-State won a corner kick in the 88th minute. Junior goalkeeper Alaina Werremeyer raced forward to provide an extra attacker on the attempt but Purdue defended the ball away and held back the late K-State comeback.
QUICK FACTS
- K-State is 0-4-1 all-time against teams from the Big Ten Conference.
- The Wildcats are 0-2-0 all-time against Purdue.
- Kansas State is now 13-26-5 all-time in the month of September.
- With its goal on Sunday, K-State has scored a goal in the first six matches of a season for the first time in program history. K-State also tied the school record for any stretch of consecutive games with a goal, which was done over the final three matches of the 2017 season and the first three matches of the 2018 season.
- Goins recorded the eighth goal of her K-State career, moving her into a tie for second in program history for career goals.
- With the two points from the goal, Goins improved her career point total to 17 and moved into a tie for fourth in program history for career points.
- K-State ended the afternoon with a 19-7 lead in total shots, including a 12-5 advantage in shots on goal.
FROM THE HEAD COACH
K-State Head Coach Mike Dibbini
On the team's performance ...
"We learned a lot today, learned a lot about ourselves. I feel pretty good about where we are at, if we can continue to keep the standard of where we are at and be a little more focussed in the final third and a little more focused in possession and not turning the ball over while we are in our big shape in our attack."
Â
On tempo of the second half...
"It needed to change a little bit especially when you are down. There needed to be a bit more urgency. I kept yelling "Urgency, Urgency!" because we are down 2-0. They waited until the clock was 10 or 15 minutes before they picked it up a little bit more so we had to do it a little bit sooner."
On Kyler Goins' continued performance and her goal today...
"She's experienced. She's been in those key moments. She's scoring goals so we just have to continue to get her the ball and create for us. So she is using her leadership and her experience."
UP NEXT
K-State continues its three-match home stand by hosting Yale on Friday at 7 p.m. Friday's match will be Senior Night for the Wildcats, as the K-State will recognize its seniors in a postmatch ceremony. For tickets, visit kstatesports.com/tickets or call 800-221-CATS.
