Trying to keep yet another shutout alive, junior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe was injured in an attempt to save a goal.

Since then, Jobe has been out of play because of her injuries, and it is still unclear when she will be returning.

“She is going to see a doctor,” said ISU coach Wendy Dillinger. “We should know more after that.”

In place of Jobe, sophomore Andrea Swanson — who started eight games last season for the Cyclones and totalled 35 saves — will start for the ISU soccer team.

Since Jobe’s injury during the 2-1 win Sept. 16 against UW-Milwaukee, Swanson has been the team’s starter goalie in the team’s four games. In that time, she has accumulated 17 saves and one shutout.

“[Swanson] has been playing really well,” Jobe said. “This past weekend she made two huge saves against [Texas] Tech and Oklahoma State. She is getting more and more confident.”

Swanson said she has learned from Jobe’s performance this season, and it has helped in her current position of starting goalkeeper.

“Maddie is a great goalkeeper, and I learn a lot from her every day just in practice,” Swanson said.

During that Sept. 16 game, Jobe was unable to complete the shutout because of the injury. Jobe recalled the moment of her injury: “As I hit the ball a Milwaukee player tried hitting the ball and ended up hitting me. … I believe that my shoulder hit her body and her knee hit my face.”

Jobe said she got up immediately after the play and was not sure what had happened. The game was stopped because Jobe was bleeding from her head, and when she got to the sidelines, she could not lift her arm.

The contact with the Milwaukee athlete resulted in the need for stiches above Jobe’s right eye and a separated shoulder.

“I’ve never had an injury that I have sat out more than two days for,” Jobe said. “I think all the coaches will agree with this that after probably the fourth day, I got a little frustrated. … You can’t do anything about it. You’ll do your treatment for the day, but then you have to rest it.”

Jobe said that sitting on the sidelines during games can at times be beneficial for a goalkeeper.

“Being on the sideline has actually helped a lot, seeing things from a different perspective rather than when I’m in the game caught up in all the action,” Jobe said.

Although her injury has been difficult to accept, Jobe said the most difficult part is no longer playing in games.

“It puts it in perspective. I know it has been only two weeks, but it is a long time to be out,” Jobe said. “I miss the intensity and being in a completely different zone.”

Jobe is currently second all-time in career shutouts at Iowa State with 14 — the record currently stands at 16.
