Game Summary

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Finally!

After more than 632 minutes — more than seven games — the Saint Mary's University women's soccer team finally had a goal to show for their efforts.

Jody Kielbasa's (White Bear Lake, Minn.) first collegiate goal two minutes into the second half of Saturday's MIAC game against St. Catherine tied the game at 1-1, ending an SMU scoreless drought dating back to Sept. 15 — when Bernadette Balla (Barrington, Ill.) scored to give SMU a 1-0 win over Benedictine.

Unfortunately, while Kielbasa's goal finally snapped SMU out of its month-long scoring funk, it wasn't enough to end the Cardinals' losing streak as St. Catherine scored three times in the game's final 20 minutes Saturday en route to a 4-1 victory.

St. Catherine got on the board first at the 12:11 mark, as Jen Gruenhagon beat SMU goalie Dianna Kyllo (Kasson, Minn.). Kielbasa pulled the Cardinals' even two minutes into the second half, but three quick goals by the Wildcats — two coming off the foot of Delinda Tamangi — in a 16-minute span late in the second half proved to be the difference.
