ST. LOUIS – The Maryville women's soccer team continued it's early-season defensive brilliance on a rain-soaked Friday afternoon, capturing a 2-0 win over the visiting Missouri S&T Miners. It marks the fourth contest in a row where the Saints have blanked the opposition and continues their multi-goal streak that lasts all season.
 
Elsa Nilson-Hurtig and Emily Doane were the goal scorers for the contest while Agnes Vilen picked up the fourth clean sheet of her young career.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The game was dictated by the Saints the entire first half, with the number that stands out being 13-0. That being the shot ratio as the Saints peppered the Miners keeper with attempts one after another.
 
Despite the numerous chances, it took until the 36th minute of the contest where a ball played from Nika Vemdal resulted in Nilson-Hurtig's sixth goal of the season. It's also her fourth straight game with a goal.
 
Coming out of the break, Maryville kept the foot on the pedal, eventually adding another goal, this time by Doane, with Nilson-Hurtig snagging an assist.
 
UP NEXT
Vengeance is on the menu as the Saints welcome in Drury for their second meeting of the season. The Panthers and Saints will square off at 12 p.m. Sunday, Sept 29.
