UWS Henderson Named POW

Henderson backstopped the Yellowjackets to a pair of wins last week and was perfect in the process. On September 16 she made six saves as the Yellowjackets won at Finlandia 2-0. She followed that up on Saturday with another shutout performance, making eight saves in a 1-0 overtime win over Lakeland College on the road.

“The start of the season hasn’t been easy for our team with some matches against good opponents and a lot of injuries, but the players have showed a tremendous work ethic and a great attitude throughout and Bailey is a big part of that,” Yellowjacket Head Coach Morgan MacLean said. “She has come in and made a big impact on our team as a freshman and that is something that doesn’t happen all that often at the college level.

“There is no reason to think that this is anything but the beginning for her as she is only scratching the surface of how good she can be.”

Spanning the four matches, Henderson has a shutout streak of 298:57, having last given up a goal in the second half of the match against Bethany Lutheran on September 13.

For the year Henderson has played every match in goal for the Yellowjackets and has fashioned a record of 3-4-1 with a goals against average of 2.96 and a save percentage of .707. All three of her victories have been by way of the shutout.

The Yellowjackets (3-4-1, 0-0-0 WIAC) will get their first taste of WIAC action in 2014 on Saturday, September 27 when they travel to UW-Platteville to take on the Pioneers. The match will get underway at 11:00 a.m.
