Women's Soccer Soars in Home Opener

ANKENY, Iowa—The Faith Eagles women's soccer team took care of business with their first home match of the season on Saturday, outpacing Lincoln Christian University by the score of 4-0.

Faith dominated possession of the ball the entire 90 minutes, outshooting Lincoln 19-1. The Eagles first score came three minutes into the game off the foot of freshman Alison Lundberg, with her first collegiate goal. Fellow freshman Brenna Penrod answered a minute later with her first collegiate goal to give the Eagles a lightning-fast lead of 2-0 in the first five minutes. Abigail Speichinger scored her second goal of the year shortly before halftime to stretch the lead to 3-0.

After a mostly scoreless second half, Faith struck for its fourth goal of the game when Allison Yuan punched in her first score of the year to give the Eagles a 4-0 lead, which held through the final buzzer.

With the win, the Eagles moved to 1-0-1 on the year.  The women will be forced to heal and rest quickly with a long road trip to the Minneapolis area on Tuesday with a game against Crown College at 3:30 p.m. The Storm are 1-1, coming off an 8-1 loss to Viterbo.
