Game Summary

MOORHEAD, Minn. — Road games have not been very kind to the Saint Mary's University women's soccer team of late.

Last Wednesday, the Cardinals traveled to St. Peter, Minn., to take on high-powered Gustavus, and the Gusties promptly scored four goals in a span of the game's first six minutes en route to a 5-0 first-half lead and a 5-0 victory.

Saturday afternoon, it was off to Moorhead, Minn., and a date with league-leading Concordia. And this time, it was the Cobbers who scored early — and often — netting two goals in the game's first five minutes, and five in the first half en route to a 6-0 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference win.

Amy Ravenhorst and Morgan Bain each scored the first of their two goals before the game was five minutes old — Ravenhorst's coming at the 3:39 mark, while Bain's was 1:19 later. After Ravenhorst made it 3-0 with her second at 22:38, and SMU gave the Cobbers a gift own goal to push the lead to 4-0, Betsy Olesen closed out the first-half scoring with her first of the season at the 41:43 mark.

Bain's goal five minutes into the second half closed out the scoring as Concordia dropped SMU to 0-4-0 in the MIAC and 1-11-0 overall.

Emily Strom (Waterford, Wis.) finished with 10 saves for the Cardinals, while Jamie Savage and Sandra Kane combined for a three-save shutout for the Cobbers (5-1-0 MIAC, 8-2-0 overall).
