Soccer Team Opens Season With 3-0 Win

The Falcons opened up the regular season with an impressive 3-0 win over St. Mary's Wednesday afternoon at Ramer Field.

The Falcons would dominate the scoring from start to finish. Cassie Stang (Stillwater, MN, Mahtomedi) started things off with an unassisted goal off her own corner kick at 28:06 into the game. The Falcons went into halftime with a one-goal lead despite being outshot 5-4 in the first half. Falcon Rachel Thompson (Cedar Falls, IA, Cedar Falls) was great in the goal with two saves in the first half and four in the game.

The Falcons dominated the second half much like the first. Janae Baron (Hermantown, MN, Hermantown) and Madeline Duffy (Ham Lake, MN, Blaine)would assist Eryn Lansverk (White Bear Lake, MN, White Bear Lake) on a goal at 64:38. Baron was able to head the ball to Lansverk who buried the shot past the Cardinal goalie. Alyssa Manor (Stillwater, MN, Stillwater) would add the third goal from 35 feet out in the last minute of the contest. It was Manor's first collegiate goal.

Baron and Stang led the Falcons with two shots each. Thompson recorded the shutout – her sixth of her collegiate career. SMU's Cassie Hulett made two saves.

Both teams finished with eight shots in the game. The Falcons out shot SMU, 4-3, in the second half. UWRF had 11 fouls and the Cards were called for 10.

UWRF is now 3-1 all-time in the series with the Cardinals.
