A goal in the 58th minute by junior midfielder Kara Ellis earned Concordia a hard-fought 1-1 tie against Macalester.
MOORHEAD, Minn. (10/14/25)---A goal in the 58th minute by junior midfielder Kara Ellis earned Concordia a hard-fought 1-1 tie against Macalester.
The tie is the fifth of the season for the Cobbers, which is one shy of the program record set in 2011 when CC went 13-4-6 and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Concordia fell behind 1-0 at the 18:07 mark of the first half when the Scots were able to take a throw-in deep on the right wing in the Cobber end of the field and convert it into a line-drive shot that found the far side netting. Georgia LeWin-Mills netted her fourth goal on a perfectly placed shot after taking the throw-in from Miya Whitely.
The game would stay at 1-0 through halftime and into the 13th minute of the second half.
Concordia (0-7-5, 0-5-2 MIAC) was able to post the equalizer. Ellis started the game-tying play and finished it. She won possession of the ball just inside the Cobbers' offensive half of the field, passed the ball out to the right wing to Emma Sheflo and sprinted towards the penalty area.
Sheflo raced the ball down the win and sent a cross into the top of the 6-yard box where Hannah Mukhtar jumped up to contest a 50-50 ball with a Macalester defender. The ball bounced off of Mukhtar and back into the path of Ellis, who sent a 9-yard shot into the lower left corner of the net.
The goal at 57:54 was Ellis' first of the season and seventh of her career.
Macalester (4-6-2, 1-4-2 MIAC) pressed for the game winner late in the second half but were denied by the Cobber defense and goalie Julia Roark. Roark came up with two saves in the final 11 minutes of the game to preserve the tie.
The Scots held a 15-10 advantage in total shots and a 6-3 edge in shots on goal.
Ellis finished the game with a team-high four total shots, while Sheflo led the Cobbers with a pair of shots on frame.
Roark made five saves, including a couple of sure-handed stops off of shots that skipped on the wet surface because of the rain before the game.
Concordia will stay at home and face regionally-ranked St. Olaf on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 3:30 p.m.
