In the 17th minute junior midfielder/defender Amanda Rose (Arvada, Colo./Arvada West) scored her first goal of the season off a pass from junior forward Kasey Stever (Chagrin Falls, Ohio). The ball was booted high into the box and Spartan goalie Kirsten McClain was not able to control the ball. Stever collected it near the right post, turned and had her shot blocked by two Case defenders. She collected the rebound and turned and passed back to the center of the box to Rose, who one-timed the ball into the empty left side of the net.
