ST. PAUL, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica women’s soccer team took down the University of Northwestern in a 3-0 conference game at Reynolds Field on Saturday afternoon.

On the other side of the field, CSS’s offense bombarded the Eagles net to score three goals. Jalyn Britton (Eagan, Minn./St. Croix Lutheran HS) shot four times all match and put both of her shots on goal in the net for two of the three Scholastica goals. Casey Mitchell (St. Cloud, Minn./St. Cloud Tech) assisted Britton with her first goal the first goal of the game while Alexi Bopray (River Falls, Wis./River Falls HS) chipped in with Britton’s second goal and for Scholastica’s third tally. Angie Toepper (Lino Lakes, Minn./Centennial HS) scored the second goal of the game for the Saints and was assisted by Kelsey Kehtel (Duluth, Minn./Duluth East HS).
