Mustang
SOCCER SATURDAY, OCT. 30 Morningside University’s men’s and women’s soccer programs honor their Class of 2022 team members this evening, as the home regular and Great Plains Athletic Conference season comes to a close. The two classes have built upon the rich Mustangs pitch tradition. The men’s team seniors have been a part of three straight National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournaments, two GPAC regular-season titles, and three conference postseason tournaments among 54 victories. The women’s group has reached the conference’s tournament in the last three seasons as part of a 40-win resume.
THE SERIES Mside has won nine straight on the women’s side and six in a row for the men’s ledger as part of the all-time annals against Dakota Wesleyan University. Head coach Tom Maxon’s men’s program hasn’t surrendered a Tigers score in the last five meetings. Despite the long skein produced by Morningside’s women’s program, five of the previous nine contests have been decided by just two goals or less.
THE MATCH-UP Senior midfielder Mortiz Lusch, who has led the men’s offensive numbers for a good share of the season, recently went into rarified career total location, eclipsing 30-goal, 30-assist, 100-point territory to become just the third Morningside player to hit point triple-digits. The senior enters the evening with 37 goals, 34 assists, and 108 points and is among the school’s career top five in many categories, including goals, game-winning goals, assists, and shots on goal. Lusch (11 goals, 30 points, 52 shots, 29 shots on goal, and three game-winning scores), sophomore midfielder Victor Beker (11 assists), and junior goalkeeper Bjarne Huth (eight wins, 58 saves, and three shutouts) are first through 16 matches. Beker needs one more assist to tie the single-season program record held by Lusch, junior forward Robin Thomala, and twice by former standout Chris Johnson. The Mustangs women’s squad has multiple digit leaders, too. Included are sophomore defender/forward Jil Hellerforth (six goals, 13 points); freshman midfielder Ebba Torgner (six assists); freshman midfielder Nathalie Larsson (46 shots, 22 shots on goal); and senior goalkeeper Sarah Finn (nine wins, 65 saves, six shutouts). Finn is one victory away from tying for fifth on the single-season standards, and she moved into the top five for singleseason shutouts in the mid-week win at College of Saint Mary.

The Morningside University experience cultivates a passion for lifelong learning and a dedication to ethical leadership and civic responsibility.
s g n a st Mu continued from page one Behind the foot of freshman midfielder Antonia Janssen, Morningside University resumed its late regular-season surge Oct. 27. Dodging the raindrops at CSM’s Heritage Park field and a fierce Flames defense, Janssen unloaded a successful offensive salvo that found its home in the back of the net for a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the second half. Mside’s defense, spearheaded by the clean sheet goalkeeping of Finn, kept the advantage on the scoreboard until quadruple zeroes. Finn, battling through a 12-9 shots edge for the home team, posted five saves. It was her 11th successive appearance with two-or-more. Janssen, Larsson, and sophomore midfielder Sina Feeser shared Morningside’s total shots lead (two). Head coach Clay Glasgow’s DWU women’s side gave league-leading University of Jamestown all it could handle Wednesday. They dropped a 2-1 decision on the road, but it came down to a goal in the 80th minute to decide the outcome. Despite being outshot 18-2, the Tigers stayed close through the efforts of freshman netminder Isabella Gregg, who registered five saves. Senior forward Jozy Bardsley has been one of the league’s best offensively depositing 13 goals, two of which have been match deciders. Dakota Wesleyan’s men, coached by Brady Van Holland, have been on the upswing of late with two wins and a draw in their last four matches. Junior midfielder Rafael Calderon (seven goals) and junior goalkeeper Hunter Birozy (two wins, two shutouts, and 78 saves) are team leaders. The 2021 GPAC Championships brackets are scheduled to be released at the end of play this evening. Check out www.msidemustangs.com for more information Sunday, Oct. 31.
