St. Louis – Two second-half goals helped the Maryville women's soccer team remain undefeated with a 3-1 victory over Southwest Baptist. The 4-0-0 start is the best for the Saints since the 2006 team opened with five consecutive wins.

What Happened
Kennedy Reeser collected a pass from Sammi Fulson and fired a shot that hit the inside of the right post. The ball bounced back onto the field but then spun into the net to give the Saints a 1-0 edge in the 37th minute. In the waning seconds of the half, SBU drew level with a wind-aided shot that dipped below the crossbar.
 
In the 55th minute of play, Madison Schmied pushed a ball down the left side, and Madison Canoy outran the SBU defense to the corner. Canoy dropped the ball back to Johnson who lifted the ball into the upper right corner for a 2-1 lead. Kristen Sparks sealed the win with a score off a corner kick by Mariah Loya.
