The Spring Arbor University women's soccer team had to wait a while, but eventually got what they were looking for with a 2-0 win over the University of St. Francis Cougars in a game that almost didn't happen.

In what turned out to be a very physical battle, Spring Arbor got an opening goal from Megan Wegener when she cleaned up a cross from Maegan Smith in the 15th minute of play.  The goal was Wegener's seventh of the season.

Fifteen minutes later the two hooked up again when Smith got on the end of Wegener's cross and knocked the ball home for her league leading 20th goal of the season.

Just as the halftime horn sounded lightning appeared in the southern Michigan sky, forcing a delay of around an hour and a half before play could resume.

When the match finally resumed both teams battled until just after the 70th minute of play when lightning once again appeared in the sky, halting the match for good.  Since the match lasted over 70 minutes the result stands as official.

The Cougars out-shot USF 14-4 through seventy minutes of play.

Spring Arbor moves to 15-2-1 and 8-1 in MCC loop play, while USF falls to 8-10 overall.  The two teams will lock horns again on Saturday in the #1 vs. #8 matchup in the quarter finals of the MCC tournament.  The match will kick off at 2:00 p.m.
