BLOOMINGTON, Ill. - The Illinois Wesleyan University women's soccer team scored two goals in the second half to win its home opener 2-0 against Calvin College Friday, Sept. 6.

Junior Cameron Hindel (Normal, Ill.-Normal Community) in the 53rd minute and freshman Lauren Shanks (Bloomington, Ill.-Central Catholic) in the 72nd minute provided the scoring for the Titans, with junior Sydney Pinder (Liberty Township, Ohio-Lakota East HS) assisting on Hindel's goal.

In the first half, the Titans had a penalty kick opportunity in the 38th minute, but the ensuing kick hit the right post and the rebound was waved off due to offsides to keep the match scoreless through one half of play. 

Illinois Wesleyan struck early in the second frame as Pinder played a ball through to Hindel, who blasted a shot into the back of the net. Shanks added the second strike roughly 20 minutes later to seal the 2-0 win.

Overall, IWU outshot Calvin 18-6, while also holding a 9-1 advantage for shots on goal.

Next up for the Titans is a match against the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse tomorrow afternoon, Sept. 7, at Neis Field. Game time is set for 4 p.m.
