VERMILLION, S.D. – The South Dakota women's soccer team won 13-0 over the College of Saint Mary in exhibition action Tuesday at First Bank & Trust Soccer Complex.
 
Junior Taryn LaBree set the tone with a goal just 44 seconds in the game as she fired a shot into the left corner of the net. Three minutes later, LaBree assisted on a goal by junior Kellee Willer. LaBree made the pass from the right corner of the six-yard box to Willer on the opposite corner, where she one-timed the ball into the net.
 
The same duo connected again in the 10^th minute as Willer scored from 12 yards out and the 3-0 lead.
 
"It was great to get out on our home field," head coach Michael Thomas said. "Thank you to the College of Saint Mary for coming to play us. We were able to play every healthy player and continue to evaluate our squad moving forward."
 
LaBree added a second goal as South Dakota tallied six in the half. Freshmen Lindsay Farrell and Tiannah Moore also added goals in the first period.

Senior Parker Rytz got the start in the goal, stopping the only shot she faced. Senior Coral Suarez and freshman Hollyn Carlton also played in net, not facing a shot.
