BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - Junior Emily Hinchman scored two goals and senior Molly O'Brien got one as the Illinois Wesleyan women's soccer team rallied to beat Carthage, 3-1, on Seniors' Day at Neis Field on Saturday (Oct. 29).

The win pushes the No. 15-ranked Titans' record to 13-3-1 and 5-1-1 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin. The second-seeded IWU squad will host Elmhurst on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the semifinals of the CCIW postseason tournament.

Carthage had the only first half goal, coming at 17:40 from Rachel Jason, her ninth of the year, on an assist from Kasie Jabeck.

The Titans scored their first goal at 55:28 when Hinchman headed the ball into the goal on a free kick from senior Lauren Knaack.

O'Brien got her 16th goal of the season, putting the ball into the right corner of the goal with an assist from Hinchman at 69:27 and IWU's final tally came at 74:58 when Hinchman, scoring for the 12th time in 2011, scored unassisted as she dribbled from 40 yards out for an open shot.

Illinois Wesleyan had 20 shots compared to four for the Lady Reds (now 8-9-2, 2-4-1 CCIW) and Carthage's Angela Spinelli made six saves. IWU's second-half keeper, Renata Butikas, made the team's only save.
