Warriors Shutout Sabercats, 5-0, In Non-Conference Finale

Schmidt scores twice as WLC matches highest win total in 24 years

WATERTOWN, Wis. (WLCSports.com) – Wisconsin Lutheran College erupted for four second-half goals to roll past Maranatha Baptist 5-0 on Monday at MBU Soccer Field in its final non-conference matchup of the season.

With the victory, the Warriors (9-1-0) matched their highest single-season win total since 2002. The triumph also marked WLC's seventh shutout of the year and the second consecutive contest in which Wisconsin Lutheran held its opponent without a single shot attempt.

The Warriors took an early lead in the ninth minute when freshman Gracie Schmidt (Cedar Grove, Wis.) netted her fifth goal of the campaign unassisted at the 8:52 mark. Despite firing 20 shots in the opening 45 minutes, WLC went into the intermission with a 1-0 advantage.

The offense broke the contest open with three goals in an eight-minute flurry midway through the second half. Freshman Gisselle Sanchez (Burlington, Wis.) started the surge in the 61st minute with an unassisted tally, her first of the season. Just 28 seconds later, Schmidt struck again for her second goal of the match and sixth of the year off an assist from freshman Luciana Galarza (Schaumburg, Ill.) to push the lead to 3-0.

Freshman Kylie Lundgren (Waunakee, Wis.) extended the margin to 4-0 in the 68th minute, converting a setup from freshman Hannah Henderson (Hartland, Wis.) for her fifth goal of the season. Henderson capped the scoring in the 73rd minute, scoring unassisted for her first goal of the year.

Wisconsin Lutheran controlled every facet of the match, outshooting the Sabercats (4-5-1) 43-0 overall and 24-0 in shots on target. The Warriors also held a 5-0 advantage in corner kicks.

Lundgren paced all players with a match-high 12 shots (four on goal), while Schmidt tallied eight shots, placing seven on target. MBU did not record a shot attempt.

Senior Kallista Street (Kenosha, Wis.) earned the complete-game win and clean sheet in net for WLC without being forced to make a save. Maranatha Baptist goalkeeper Chloe Dodd kept the Sabercats competitive by turning aside 18 saves on the afternoon.

Wisconsin Lutheran returns home on Wednesday to host cross-town rival MSOE (6-3-4, 4-0-2 NACC) in Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference action at 7 p.m.
