KENOSHA, Wis. – The Illinois Wesleyan women's soccer team handedly defeated Carthage College by a final score of 3-0 on Saturday, Oct. 22. Freshman Ellie Crabtree's goal in the 10th minute proved to be all the Titans would need in the rout.
 
With a win the Titans improved to 9-5-2 with a 5-1 record in the CCIW. Carthage fell to 9-6-0 with a 3-3 record in the conference.
 
Crabtree got things started with a bang on Saturday scoring her second goal of the season off a free kick. Following her goal both teams were held scoreless for the remainder of the first half. The Lady Reds placed two shots on goal against the Titans but were unable to convert.
 
Senior Emily Snider found the back of the net for the first time this season in the 77th minute.
