Box Score KEARNEY, Neb. -- The Washburn women's soccer team took its' third consecutive victory Sunday, in a 2-0 win over the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

This was the second match between the Ichabods and the Lopers, as the first match also ended in a 2-0 Washburn victory.

After a scoreless first half, Olivia Grasso scored her first goal of the season in the 50th minute off an assist by Mackenzie Heiman, also her first of the season.

With just six shots of their own, the Ichabods faced more shots from the Lopers, 15, than they took. But for the second straight match, Washburn came away with the victory despite suffering a similar deficit in a win Friday at Fort Hays State University.

Ellie Karloff added to the score in the 74th minute by netting her team-leading fourth goal of the season, assisted by both Tera Lynch and Paige Ledesma.

Goalkeeper Kaitlin Minnich saved a season-high 10 shots and recorded her third straight shutout, fifth of the season.  Two of those saves came in the final minutes after Karloff's goal.

With the win, the Ichabods move to 1-0-0 in MIAA action, 5-2-1 overall. They will next host the University of Central Oklahoma Friday at 6 p.m. For more information on the 2017 women's soccer season visit wusports.com.
