LIBERTY, Mo. - Washburn soccer took to the road for the first time in the 2022 season against William Jewell College and came away with a record-tying 7-3 win over the Cardinals. Five different Ichabods scored in the game led by two goals each from Jaedyn Johnson and Belle Kennedy.
Seven goals ties the program record set two other times, most recently in a 2012 match against the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Washburn also recorded 24 shots in the game, the most in a single game since they took 25 against Missouri Western in the 2019 season. Seventeen of those shots came on-goal, the most in a single game since the 2007 season.
William Jewell recorded the first shot of the game before the Ichabods took the next six but were unable to score early on. In the 25th minute, the Cardinals got on the board first with a goal into the top right corner of the net from Lux Sands.
In the 39th minute, Khloe Schuckman got alone on the right side and was able to get a shot just above the goalie's reach to tie the game at one. Three minutes later Johnson shot a free kick into the goal, deflecting off the goalie and giving Washburn a 2-1 lead at halftime.
William Jewell scored less than a minute out of halftime on a kick from Clara Fronabarger into the top right corner of the net but it was all Washburn after that.
Less than a minute later Jadyn Allen knocked in a goal in a crowd of players following a corner kick to give the Ichabods a 3-2 lead that would continue to grow.
Belle Kennedy scored the first of her two goals in the 56th minute, followed by the second of the game for Johnson. In the 68th minute, Shandon Carr scored the first goal of her college career to give Washburn a 6-2 lead.
The Cardinals added a goal from Corrine Hughes in the 76th minute to pull within three. The goal was matched in the 88th minute by Kennedy who hit a header off a corner kick to complete the scoring at 7-3.
Schuckman, Johnson, Viviana Soto-Herrera, Haley Rogers and Josie Boyle each had one assist in the balanced offensive attack where 10 players recorded a shot on-goal.
Raegan Wells played all 90 minutes in goal, recording 4 saves on 17 shots from William Jewell as the lone Washburn player not to sub out. Cardinals goalkeepers Taylor Thompson and Katie Wagenheim combined to record 10 saves on 24 total shots.
Washburn starts out the year 2-0 for the second consecutive season and defeats the Cardinals for the second time in as many years.
The Ichabods will head north to Sioux Falls, S.D., and face Augustana University Friday, September 2 beginning at 5 p.m.
