NEW ULM, Minn. – The St. Scholastica women's soccer team made it two victories in a row Friday afternoon, remaining undefeated in Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) play as it defeated Martin Luther College by a 2-1 score on the road.

CSS improves to 2-4-0 with the victory (2-0-0 UMAC), while the Knights fall to 1-3-0 (0-1-0 UMAC).

After a nearly-scoreless first half, the Knights were able to net a goal with just over one minute remaining, as Bethany Schultz scored off a free kick, sending the Saints into halftime down 1-0.

CSS responded just under two minutes into the second half as #Taylor Cunningham# netted her third goal of the season late in the 46th minute.  Cunningham and #Andrea Beatt# led the Saints with three shots on goal each.

The score remained tied until the 69th minute when #Kaylee Gombold# netted her second of the year, an unassisted tally.

The Saints took 17 shots on goal against Knights keeper Allison Snyder. #Molly Bergmann# earned her first victory of the year, making three stops for CSS. In total, the Saints out-shot the Knights 38-to-7.

The Saints continue their conference road trip tomorrow afternoon, taking on Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato starting at Noon.
