FOND DU LAC, Wis. — Jordyn Matthews (Seattle, Wash.) and Mary Loy (Burien, Wash.) are proving to be a rather lethal one-two combination for the Saint Mary's University women's soccer team.
 
Matthews and Loy — who scored the Cardinals' two goals in their season-opening 2-1 win over Edgewood a week ago — were at it again Saint Mary's nonconference game against Marian on Friday.
 
Matthews scored the game's first goal — off an assist from Loy — and added her second of the game with 11 seconds remaining in regulation, as the Cardinals pushed their season-opening winning streak to 2-0 with a 3-0 win over the Sabres.
 
Matthews, who scored her first collegiate goal to open the scoring against Edgewood, was at it again against the Sabres, as the freshman broke a 0-0 deadlock with less than 15 minutes remaining in the first half — off an assist from Loy — to give the Cardinals a 1-0 advantage heading into the break.
 
Kendall Archer (Draper, Utah) pushed the Cardinals' lead to 2-0 with her first of the season early in the second half, and Matthews closed out the scoring with her second of the game in the waning seconds.
 
Gabriella Pederson (Chaska, Minn.) picked up her first shutout of the season — and eighth of her career — stopping both Marian shots, while Sabres' goalie Kylie Lange finished with six saves.
 
The Cardinals (2-0-0 overall) are back in action on Sunday, heading to Ripon, Wis., for an 11 a.m. nonconference game against Ripon.
