The Truman women’s soccer team notched a key early-season regional non-conference win on Sunday afternoon by picking up a 2-0 shutout of Winona (Minn.) State at the Bulldog Soccer Park.
After a scoreless first half, Truman (1-1) got on the board in the 61st minute when Annie Skornia crossed a ball into the center of the WSU (0-2) box. Trisha Shoemaker took the pass and found an open Olivia Hayes on the far side, who converted to put the ’Dogs ahead 1-0.
Then, in the 78th minute, the Bulldogs got an important insurance tally when Shoemaker took a pass from Kelsey Twellman and beat Warrior keeper Alex Vial on the left side for a 2-0 advantage. It was Shoemaker’s second goal in as many games to start the 2012 season.
Emily Bozdeck made one save, as she was rarely tested in the match.
Truman outshot WSU 20-7 overall, with 10 shots coming in both the first and second halves.
The Bulldogs return to action next weekend with a trip to Sioux Falls, S.D., on Friday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept. 9.
Truman faces Augustana (S.D.) at 5:00 pm on Friday before taking on Sioux Falls at 1:00 pm on Sunday.
