After some confusion in the center of the KP defense, the loose ball popped out to Strong on the edge of the box and she slotted it into the empty net. KP nearly equalized a few minutes later, but Ava Quintin’s 25-yard free kick hit the underside of the bar and somehow stayed out. On the rebound, freshman Lola Weeman had a header inside the six saved by Devyn Cairns. Strong would force a good save from Emma Weiblin and Hannah Griffith went close after getting on the end of a free kick, but it stayed 1-0 at the break. Franklin started the second half well and nine minutes in the Panthers doubled their lead. Cuneo won the ball back in midfield and sent a through ball to Strong in the right channel. A slightly heavy touch nearly took the chance away, but Strong managed to get to the ball before the keeper and square it for a wide open Cuneo to tap in. Three minutes later, KP (which was playing without star Ella McDonald) got on the board. Avery Hebert’s long throw from the left wing dropped in the box and Molly Morgan was able to corral the bouncing ball and squeeze it in at the near post, just under the arm of Cairns, to cut the deficit to 2-1.

She won the ball back in midfield, drove forward, shrugged off a challenge just outside the box, and from the edge of the area rifled a left-footed shot into the far bottom corner.

Can heading a Soccer Ball Injure the Brain?

via the Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada

"A new study published in JAMA Neurology

in May 2026 revealed some interesting science behind the effects of heading the ball in soccer. Hoppen and colleagues out of The Netherlands recently published an article looking at the short-term changes in the brain from heading the ball during the soccer match.

The researchers analyzed the blood of players before a match, immediately after and 24-48hrs post-match, looking at a panel of 6 blood biomarkers for changes in the brain. Two brain biomarkers stood out: pTau217 and S100B. The proteins have been associated with neuronal damage and astrocyte/supporting cell activity. These changes were also dose-dependent, meaning the bigger the impact the bigger the rise in blood biomarkers.

The levels of these biomarkers did return to baseline within a few days after the match, however, the authors mention that this return is not an indicator that the brain has healed.

Even though this study only looked at male amateur soccer players, it is an important puzzle piece for the immediate, acute effects of what heading a ball does to the brain, and furthers the need for conversations surrounding limiting heading exposures. More research is needed to expand these findings, but it is a step in the right direction.

If you like these science-explanation posts, be sure to follow if you aren’t already as we plan to release more of these in the near future. Science made easy is the best way to spread this important information."
