(EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sep. 15) – McKendree University women's soccer Head Coach Tim Strange earned his 500^th career win this past Sunday after his Bearcats defeated the Screaming Eagles of Southern Indiana University 3-1 through 90 minutes of play.
 
Strange's illustrious 500 wins come from a combined record of his time at the helm of both men's and women's teams at McKendree University.

"It's all about the players," said Strange following Sunday's victory. "I've been very fortunate to coach some great players through my career and to reach this milestone is a true honor. I could not have gotten here without the talent of the teams that I have had in the past and currently."
 
Sunday's matchup began with an early Bearcat goal from Alynnah O'Leary (Collinsville, IL/Collinsville High School) courtesy of a Paula Melsheimer (Reil, Germany/Gymnasium Traben-Trarbach) assist in just the sixth minute of play. Southern Indiana responded with a goal of their own just six minutes later, but McKendree quickly responded less than a minute later after McKendree's Sydnee Carroll (Millstadt, IL/Belleville West High School) struck the net off a Emma Knoebel (Maryville, IL/Collinsville High School) assist. The final dagger came in the 67^th minute after Morgan Cervera (Saint Peters, MO/Francis Howell Central High School) scored the third and final goal for the Bearcats off a Madyson Mossman (St. Louis, MO/Ursuline Academy) assist. Goalkeeper Zoe Brochu (Ajax, Ontario, Canada/Pickering High School) made six saves in the victory.
 
Tim Strange and the women's soccer team, now 3-1-0 overall and 1-0 in the GLVC, will be back in action this Friday, September 15 at 3:45 p.m. ET as they travel to Louisville, Kentucky to face the Knights of Bellarmine University.
