For over a week, freshman Kylie Sprecher had a goal in mind: score her first career goal. The young forward did everything from watching tape to studying veteran forwards like Darian Powell or Carrie Madden while she was on the bench.
“I feel like I’m very close (to my first goal),” Sprecher told the Wire Aug. 24. “And it’s one of those things where I think when I get my first one, hopefully that knocks down the wall and they all start coming.”
In the 18th minute Friday against Central Michigan at Valley Fields, that goal quickly became a reality.
