WICHITA, Kan. – The St. Edward's Women's Soccer team stayed undefeated in Heartland Conference play with a 3-0 win over Newman Saturday afternoon at Wilkins Field.
 
Both teams traded shots in the early going, but in the eighth minute, a St. Edward's player was taken down in the box to earn the Hilltoppers a penalty kick. Senior KATIE DONAHUE calmly stepped up and drilled her third goal of the season.
 
In a fairly even first half shots-wise, it was St. Edward's (8-2, 3-0 HC) that finished its chances. In the 34^th minute, a St. Edward's cornerkick found the head of freshman SABRINA CONE. Her header found JENNIFER BOUDREAU right in front of the goal for a point-blank shot. It was her third goal of the season as well.
 
In the second half, the Hilltoppers dominated as they outshot the Jets, 14-0.
 
St. Edward's tallied its final goal of the match in the 78^th minute when another Hilltopper cornerkick from VALENCIA MOBLEY found the head of senior TAYLOR SETTECERRI. Her header goal was her first of the season.
 
St. Edward's outshot Newman, 19-4, and had seven cornerkicks compared to zero for the Jets.

"Newman is a much improved team and we had difficulty breaking them down in the first half, despite our 2-0 lead," St. Edward's Head Coach Nick Cowell said. "In the second half we dominated possession, and with a bit more luck we could have scored a few more goals."
 
St. Edward's will return home to host Dallas Baptist on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Lewis-Chen Family Field. Live video and stats will be available on the Hilltopper Athletic Website.
