Mann tallies assist for ’Dons

For four years, Gabbie Mann often showed up on the score sheet at Jay County.
She now has her first collegiate point under her belt.
Mann, a 2016 Jay County High School graduate, notched her first assist for the IPFW women’s soccer team Friday in a 4-3 home victory against Youngstown State.
With the game tied at 1-1 in the first half, Mann passed to Kallianne Mogler, who beat Youngstown State goalkeeper Katie Montgomery to the left side of the goal. It was the go-ahead goal for the Mastodons (2-4), and the second of three for Mogler.
Two days later, Mann made her first career start for IPFW in a 1-0 loss to Wright State. The forward attempted her first shot of the season, but it missed the frame.
Mann, Jay County’s all-time leading scorer, has played in all six games this year for the Mastodons and averages 24 minutes of play.
