UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – On a chilly afternoon, the SVSU womens soccer team was red hot as they blew out visiting Findlay University 4-0 at the SVSU Soccer Complex on Sunday (Sept. 21).

After an opening half where much of the game was played in the middle of the field with neither team producing much offense, the Cardinals started the second half reenergized, and quickly began putting pressure on the Oiler’s defense.

At the 66 minute mark, SVSU’s Kim Oberski (Port Huron, Mich./Port Huron HS) dished a perfect pass to Jaclyn Barrett (Williamston, Mich./Williamston HS) who beat Oilers goalkeeper Alicia Tutino to give SVSU the lead 1-0. Ten minutes later, Barrett found the back of the net again, this time off a feed from Samantha Echols (Walled Lake, Mich./Central HS) to put the Cardinals up by two.

Less than four minutes later, Oberski notched a goal to put the Cardinals up 3-0, and then rounded out the scoring with her second goal at the 83 minute mark. Oberski led all scorers in the contest with two goals, and two assists.

Preserving the shutout, Missy Fredrick (Canton, Mich./John Glenn Westland HS) turned away six shots on goal, and keeping the Cardinals undefeated in the GLIAC (2-0) and evening their overall record to 2-2.

The win gives the Cardinals momentum into their next match at 4 p.m. Friday in a GLIAC match with visiting Northern Michigan University.
