INDIANAPOLIS- With a barrage of first half goals, the University of Indianapolis women's soccer team defeated the hosting Quincy University Hawks 4-0 on Friday, Sept 20. The offensive masterclass gave the Greyhounds their first GLVC win of the season, moving their record to 2-2-1 on the year.
Though Hounds' offense was in full swing, the back line shut down any offensive threats from the Hawks, holding them to just two shots on goal.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds came out of the gate with their foot on the gas pedal. Just a minute into the match, Mia Winters found the back of the net off a corner kick from Sarah Wegener, with an impressive volley past the near-post just a minute into the match.

UIndy didn't give up an ounce of pressure on the attack, gaining another corner kick at the 16:29 mark in the first. The ball took a couple of bounces off both teams, and the Hawks failed to clear it before Karoline Bachelder fired the ball past Quincy's Julia Mincher to give the Hounds a 2-0 lead.
