BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- The Illinois Wesleyan women's soccer team jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period against Benedictine University and extended the winning score to 4-0 on Thursday, Sept. 13 at Neis Field. 

Sophomore Peyton Howe put the Titans on the board at 9:53 with an assist from sophomore Anna Eager. A cross to the middle from freshman Erin Peck allowed sophomore Cameron Hindel to chip in another goal at 26:25. 

The Titans rallied two more goals in the second period from junior Flower Edington and senior Rosie Pettenuzzo. Pettenuzzo provided a long pass to Edington for a breakaway goal at 52:01. Then Pettenuzzo also knocked in her first goal of the season at 59:24 assisted by Howe.

The Titans improved to 3-1-1 while the Eagles fell 2-4-0. Illinois Wesleyan outshot Benedictine 21-3 and had 11 shots on goal compared to one, saved by sophomore keeper Kelli McCarthy in her third shutout of the season.
