The Anderson University women's soccer team blanked Mount St. Joseph University with a 3-0 victory during Saturday's Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) matchup at the AU Soccer Fields.

"[Saturday] was a great team win," Coach Jennifer Myhre said. "We defended well, played smart and made great shot decisions. We kept pressing hard and getting closer and closer as the first half wore down."
Â
Tori Baver (Garrett, Ind./Garrett) capitalized off a corner kick from Harper Manion (Lebanon, Ohio/Bishop Fenwick) 30 minutes into the match for the first score for the Ravens (8-1-2, 2-0-1).
Â
"Corners aren't always our strength and Tori has stepped in strong to given us a great offensive presence."
Â
The Ravens surged to a 3-0 lead after Morgan Reed (Haubstadt, Ind./Gibson Southern) netted goals in the 53rd minute and in the 85th minute.
Â
"Morgan is finding her sweet spot on those long-range goals and played a complete game."
