Saints Win Big On Senior Day

JOLIET, Ill. --- The University of St. Francis women's soccer team scored its second straight 5-0 victory on Saturday afternoon as five different Saints scored and another three provided assists on Senior Day in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference victory over Calumet College of St. Joseph on Busey Bank Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

The win also marked the fifth shutout of the season for USF (8-2-1, 4-1-1 CCAC), all of which have come in the last six contests for the Saints.

Four of the goals came in a 13-minute span, but that was after Alexis Marroquin tallied the only goal that mattered in the 27th minute on an assist from Mia Ocana.  The other first-half goal came off the foot of Valeria Valles-Garcia with less than three minutes to play before halftime.  Azucena Diaz provided the pass on that score.

USF's other three goals all happened in less than a five-minute span of time.  Nataley Salgado started the flurry at 50:48 with Litzy Mendez and Andrea Aguirre also scoring by the 55:10 mark.  Salgado and Aguirre also provided assists in that run as did Hailey Bartlaga. 

Neither starter Krystal Rodriguez nor backup Kadixamayrin Mireles had any activity in goal as Calumet St. Joseph (1-7, 0-5) did not attempt any shots.  On the opposite end, the Saints put up 30 shots with nine being on goal.
