(KIRKSVILLE) – Sophomore Olivia Hayes dished out three assists to three different goal scorers, as the Truman women's soccer team picked up a key 3-0 victory against Southwest Baptist on Thursday afternoon at the Bulldog Soccer Park.
Junior Jaclyn Schumann (Wauconda, Ill., Wauconda) got the Bulldogs (8-2-4, 7-1-4 MIAA) on the board in the 11th minute, firing a shot from nearly 35-yards out into the top corner of the net. Schumann's fourth goal of the season came off passes from Hayes (Clayton, Mo., Clayton) and senior Beth Bystrom (Ames, Iowa, Missouri State) to put Truman ahead, 1-0.
Schumann's Goal:
Then, in the 40th minute, freshman Kristina Weishar (Kansas City, Mo., Notre Dame de Sion) logged her first collegiate goal after Hayes delivered a pass to senior Danielle Hill (Geneva, Ill., Geneva). Hill then fed a cutting Weishar, who beat SBU keeper Megan Link, giving the 'Dogs a 2-0 edge at the break.
Weishar's Goal:
Junior Megan Buri (Parkville, Mo., Park Hill South) then scored her fourth goal of the season, as Bystrom and Hayes teamed up again to find Buri open in front of the net. For the match, Truman out-shot the Bearcats, 26-22, and held a 16-10 advantage in shots on goal.
Reigning MIAA player of the week Emily Bozdeck (St. Louis, Mo., Lindbergh) tallied her third straight shutout, stopping all ten SBU (6-6-2, 5-5-2) attempts.
The Bulldogs have four matches left in the regular season and are set to travel to Emporia State this Sunday (Oct. 24) for a 1 pm start.
