The SIUE Women's Soccer capped off an impressive weekend with a 4-0 win Sunday against the Lewis University Flyers after beating the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers Friday by the score of 3-1.
In Friday's game, SIUE and Wisconsin-Parkside matched each other shot for shot with nine apiece.
The Cougars were able to get the win due to the play from goalkeeper Kim Roady as well as the collective defensive effort.
"We had a lot of good communication tonight throughout the entire game," Roady said. "We were dropping back together and stepping in together."
Roady had seven saves on the night and helped to lead the Cougar defense by only allowing one goal.
All three Cougar goals came in the first half, but the Rangers were able to adjust in the second half and shut down SIUE.
"They woke us up at halftime, because we came out flat," Wisconsin-Parkside Head Coach Troy Fabiano said. "It's difficult to watch your team wake up after giving up three goals."
According to SIUE Head Coach Lynda Bowers, the strong defensive effort came from having the proper mindset.
"We had some good mental preparation this week, and we had really tenacious play," Bowers said.
The three SIUE goals came from Jenny Kates in the 11th minute assisted by Chelsey Johnston, Jennifer Kratzer in the 23rd minute assisted by Elizabeth Valenti and Katie Yearian in the 43rd minute.
Brittany Kaim scored the only Ranger goal in the 56th minute of the match on an assist from Meredith Novak.
The win moved SIUE to a record of 4-3-1 overall and 3-2 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. The loss dropped Wisconsin-Parkside to an overall record of 5-2-1 and a 2-2-1 record in the GLVC.
SIUE was able to continue their winning ways Sunday, by posting a 4-0 victory against Lewis University.
The Cougars out shot the Flyers 17-9 and had a combined shut out from goalkeepers Kaci Backs and Kim Roady.
SIUE had two goals from Katie Yearian and an assist as well as a goal and an assist from Elizabeth Valenti.
