Oct. 3, 2009 – Senior forward Riley Mahn registered her second career multi-goal game, and goalkeeper Jayne Grisham logged her sixth straight shutout, as the Truman women’s soccer team cruised to a 4-0 road win at Southwest Baptist University on Saturday afternoon in Bolivar.
Mahn’s (St. Peters, Mo.; Francis Howell Central) goals bookended the match for Truman (8-2-2, 7-1 MIAA), finding the back of the net in the third minute before putting the exclamation point on the performance by taking a feed from freshman Kelsey Twellman (St. Louis, Mo.; Incarnate Word Academy) in the 65th minute. Between Mahn’s tallies, senior Katie Reuck (Jacksonville, Ill.; Jacksonville/Rockhurst) gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 halftime lead with her unassisted goal in the 29th minute before junior Beth Bystrom (Ames, Iowa; Ames/Missouri State) corralled a pass from redshirt freshman Heather Niebling (Fenton, Mo.; Ursuline Academy) and scored in the 62nd minute.
Grisham (Bridgeton, Mo.; Ursuline Academy) stretched her shutout streak to 517 straight minutes, dating back to Sept. 12, by turning away four SBU (5-4-1, 3-4 MIAA) shots on goal. The Bulldogs took 14 total shots to nine for the host Bearcats and had a 7-4 advantage on target.
The Bulldogs will be home for two matches this coming week, hosting Central Missouri on Thursday afternoon at 4 pm before completing the season-series against SBU on Saturday at 11:30 am.
