Women's Soccer Shuts Down Benedictine

LISLE, Ill. - MJ Lessila scored two goals and assisted on another to lead the Elmhurst women's soccer team to a 3-0 road victory over Benedictine University. 

Elmhurst (2-0) controlled the action for nearly the entire contest. The Bluejays outshot Benedictine (2-1) 18-3 and enjoyed a 6-0 edge in corner kicks. 

Lessila started the scoring for Elmhurst in the 22nd minute by knocking home a blocked shot to give the Bluejays a 1-0 lead at the break. 

Elmhurst wasted little time doubling their lead in the second half. Emma Krick scored in the 49th minute off a feed from Lessila to put the Bluejays in front 2-0. Lessila tacked on an insurance goal in the 67th minute after Sidney O'Keeffe made a long run and crossed the ball to an open Lessila. 

Lessila finished with five points for the night while O'Keeffe tallied a pair of assists. Jami Lessila added an assist for the Bluejays.

Sophia Tuliglowski and Bryce Marchetti combined for the shutout in goal. Tuliglowski did not face a shot in nearly 74 minutes of action. Marchetti stopped the only shot she faced in just over 16 minutes of play. 

Elmhurst hosts Concordia University (Wis.) on Saturday, September 8.
