KANSAS CITY, MO – The UIndy women's soccer team fell to Rockhurst 8-0 on Sunday, the team's second road game of the weekend. 

This is the Hawks' fourth win in the last five meetings between these two sides. Today's loss also marks the Greyhounds' largest loss since 2019.

UIndy played today's match down two key pieces, outside back Nicole Schroeder, and head coach Kelli Beheler, both of which received red cards in the team's last match against William Jewell.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Rockhurst dominated the first half, netting four goals on 15 shots. Their first goal came just over two minutes into the game, and was followed by three more goals less than 12 minutes apart from each other to extend the team's lead.

The Hounds didn't create as much offensive success as Rockhurst did in the first half, but still managed to register four shots on goal by; Ella Higbie, Kendal Waugerman, Lyza Shamy and Morgan Peters. All four of the Hounds first half efforts were saved by Rockhurst's Ally Moore. 

Rockhurst carried their first half momentum into the second half, matching the four goals they scored in the first half with four more in the second. The Hawks scored their four second half goals similarly to those from the first half, with three of the goals coming in bunches, and grabbing their eighth goal late.
