Box Score
Vermillion, S.D. - The University of Northern Iowa women's soccer team continues to shut out their opponents, winning their third straight match of the 2017 season against South Dakota.
UNI (3-0 overall) has started a season with three straight victories for only the second time in school history. UNI opened the 2003 season with a trio of victories. UNI has notched nine goals on the season.
"Sunday games are always a battle and we stepped up and dictated play for large chunks of the game," UNI head coach Bruce Erickson remarked after the game.
Senior Sarah Brandt (Ankeny, Iowa) put the Panthers on the board at the 10:50 mark. With that goal, Brandt has 11 career goals as a Panther. Junior Brynell Yount (Aurora, Colo.) assisted in the goal.
With just over seven minutes left to play in the second half, Yount scored off a blocked shot by Brandt to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead. Yount scored her third goal of the season and Brandt nabbed her second assist.
"Two good goals and a team effort to win on the road," commented Erickson.
UNI goalkeeper Jami Reichenberger continued her defense of the UNI net. Reichenberger recorded three saves in UNI's victory against the Coyotes.
The Panthers snapped South Dakota's winning streak with Sunday's victory. Prior to the match, South Dakota had won three of the last four, including two straight in Vermillion. South Dakota falls to 0-4 on the year.
The Panthers begin their home slate of games starting on Sept. 1 hosting North Dakota State at 7 p.m.
