Women's Soccer Scores Season High Goals In Win Over William Jewell

The McKendree University women's soccer team put up a season high four goals in a 4-0 win over William Jewell on Sunday afternoon in Lebanon, Ill. 
 
How It Happened 
The Bearcats go on the scoreboard first in the 12th minutes when Emma Knoebel (Maryville, IL/Collinsville) was fouled in the penalty area and converted the penalty kick. 
 
In the second half, the Bearcats would keep the pressure on and added three goals. The first goal was from Destiny Johnson (Maryville, IL/Collinsville) in the 63rd minute of the game with assist credit to Katie Spotanski (St. Peters, MO/Fort Zumwalt South), the second goal came from Alynnah O'Leary (Collinsville, IL/Collinsville) in the 73rd minute and the third goal was scored by Morgan Hollenbeck (Eureka, MO/Eureka) off a free kick in the 88th minute.
 
The goal from Johnson was the first of her career, the goal from Hollenbeck was her first of the season, and O'Leary's goal was the second of the season. O'Leary now leads the team in goals with two and assists with three.
 
With the win, the Bearcats move to 5-1 on the season and sit in second place in the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
 
Behind The Boxscore 
-  The Bearcats put up 13 total shots on the game, with seven of those shots on goal. William Jewell had seven shots with one on goal.
-  In net was Mercedes King (Troy, IL/Triad). She had one save for the game. This is her fifth shutout of the season.
 
Coaches Quote 
"We get the early goal to start the game, and that's a great thing. We hold onto the lead and poured it on there in the second half. They're a good side, but we kept them in the game for too long. We need to finish them off earlier. These are the games you have to win, and the teams you have to get points against," McKendree University head coach Tim Strange said.
 
Up Next 
The Bearcats will be back in action on Friday, March 20 against Rockhurst in Kansas City, Mo. Rockhurst was picked to finish first in the GLVC and have a record of 3-1-2 after a loss against Lindenwood on Friday and a tie to the University of Missouri St-Louis on Sunday.
