TOPEKA, Kan. – The Washburn Ichabod women's soccer team earned its fourth win in a row and moved into a tie for second place in the MIAA with a 3-0 win over the Pittsburg State Gorillas on Sunday afternoon at Yager Stadium. The Ichabods will travel to Oklahoma for a two-game road trip, starting with a 7 p.m. contest against Northeastern State on Friday, Oct. 18.

The Ichabods almost got off to a quick start, when a Riley Wells shot from close range forced Pittsburg State goalkeeper Jocelyn Kramar to make a difficult foot save to keep Washburn off the board. The Ichabods would keep the pressure up and finally get on the board when Khloe Schuckman finished off her own blocked shot for her third goal of the season. Washburn took the 1-0 lead into halftime, after taking 11 shots and holding the Gorillas to two attempts.

Much like the last three games, the Ichabod offense came alive in the second half. In the 57^th minute, Schuckman found an open Viviana Soto-Herrera just inside the box, who launched a shot into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Washburn would extend its lead further in the 70^th minute, when Jadyn Allen scored a header off a well-placed corner kick from Aubrey Tanksley. The Ichabod reserves would come in for the last 12 minutes and play strong defense to put the finishing touches on Washburn's ninth straight clean sheet.

Washburn took 19 shots in the match, with 11 coming on target. Schuckman led the Ichabod offense with three shots, all coming on goal. The Ichabods had 13 players record at least one shot attempt in the contest. Hailey Beck made one save in goal for Washburn.

Pittsburg State tallied three shots in the contest, with two coming from McKenna Robinson. Kramar made six saves in just under 75 minutes in net for the Gorillas.
