Women Extinguish Blazers

WINCHESTER, Va. - Shenandoah University earned its second straight women's soccer victory with a 1-0 non-league win over Hood College Tuesday evening.

Junior Jessi Dennis gave the Hornets (2-2) the victory with her goal off of a Jenna Kline assist in the 68th minute.

From 25 yards out Kline served a ball across the face of the goal and into the six-yard box, where Dennis ran onto it and redirected her shot past HC keeper Rachelle Buhrman.

Buhrman, who had six saves for the Blazers (2-1), had no chance on the shot.

Shenandoah had other opportunities in the contest, outshooting its guests 13-5 in the game, but Dennis' tally proved to be the lone goal of the game.

Hornets backup keeper Brooke Strickler, who replaced starter Kat Terza three minutes before Dennis' goal, made three saves to earn her first win of the season.

SU also held a 3-1 advantage in corners.

The Hornets continue this homestand on Friday night at 7 in a non-league matchup against Southern Virginia.
