ST. PAUL, Minn. — South Dakota women's soccer scored three first-half goals and secured a 3-0 shutout victory over St. Thomas on Sunday in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Coyotes improved to 6-4-5 overall and 3-1-3 in Summit League play, earning their third conference win of the season and second in a row. South Dakota outshot the Tommies 15-5 and held a 6-1 advantage in shots on goal.
South Dakota wasted little time getting on the scoreboard with Brooke Conway finding the back of the net to give the Coyotes an early lead. Brooklynn Pollmiller and Kinsley Pesicka added goals to put South Dakota ahead 3-0 before halftime.
Elsie Odney assisted on two of the three goals, helping the Coyotes build their advantage in the opening 45 minutes.
The South Dakota defense held St. Thomas scoreless throughout the second half, allowing just three shots after the break. Goalkeeper Cambell Fischer recorded one save to earn her sixth shutout of the season.
Fischer's six shutouts tie her for second in program history for shutouts in a single season.
The Coyotes finished with 15 shots, including six on target, while limiting the Tommies to five shots and one shot on goal. South Dakota also earned four corner kicks in the win.
South Dakota returns to action as Summit League play continues this Thursday in Brookings, South Dakota to face off against the Jackrabbits.
