ELGIN, Ill. - Judson scored four first-half goals and controlled the game from start to finish in a 6-0 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference women's soccer win over University of St. Francis Wednesday afternoon at Dawson Field on the JU campus.

 


The deeper Eagles scored three times in the game's first 21 minutes and got their four first-half goals on a pair of breakaways and two direct kicks after USF fouls that sailed over the head and the outstretched arms of Saints goalkeeper Ashley Kekelik (T.F. South H.S./Lansing, IL).

 

The Eagles (10-3-3, 4-4-2) added two more goals in the second half against a shorthanded USF team that was forced to finish the game with nine players on the field after losing one starter to a red card late in the first half.

 

USF (2-12-1, 2-5-1) managed just one shot on goal on the game, a second-half attempt by freshman defender Ann Zajda (Joliet Catholic Academy/Plainfield, IL) that bounced off the crossbar and then nearly slipped through the hands of the Judson goalkeeper.

 

The Saints have now lost four straight games and have been shut out in all four. The four losses, though, have come against the top four teams in the CCAC - Olivet Nazarene, Trinity Christian, Trinity International and Judson.

 

USF returns home on Saturday afternoon for a 2 p.m. kickoff against the CCAC's fifth-place squad, Robert Morris. The game will be played at the Galowich YMCA field.
