McKendree University Athletics

Junior forward Erin Kilian (St. Louis, Mo., Kennedy) had five goals in leading the Bearcats to a perfect 3-0 record last week. She started the week with a pair of goals in a 5-0 road victory in AMC action against William Woods University. Kilian followed that with a three-goal performance at home in a 4-1 win over Lindenwood University. It marked the second career hat trick for McKendree, the No. 7-ranked team in the NAIA.

Thanks in part to Kilian's efforts, McKendree has opened the season with a record of 9-0-1. Kilian is second on the Bearcats' squad in scoring with 17 points. She has eight goals and an assist so far in 2010.
