Three first half goals was all that was needed as the No. 8 Centre women's soccer team remained undefeated with a 3-0 win over Oglethorpe University in an SAA match Saturday, Oct. 13 in Danville, Ky.

Centre improves to 13-0 overall and 4-0 in the SAA, while Oglethorpe falls to 4-7 overall and 1-3 in league play.

Senior defender Rachel Brannen (Fort Mitchell, Ky.) put the Colonels on the board 13:02 into the match with her third goal of the season.

Just over six minutes later, senior Mary Taylor Kersey (Winchester, Ky.) made it a 2-0 match with her sixth goal of the season. Freshman Maddie Slattery (Cincinnati, Ohio) had the assist, her fifth of the year.

Junior Claiborne Willis (Brentwood, Tenn.) completed the scoring with her first goal of the season less than five minutes to go in the opening period for the final 3-0 tally.

The Colonels out-shot the Stormy Petrals 13-6 and had a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks. Junior Megan Foley (Louisville, Ky.) and freshman Holly Hilton (New Palestine, Ind.) combined for the team's 10th shutout of the season and eighth in a row.   

Centre will return to action Sunday, Oct. 14 to play Spalding University. The non-conference match, which was postponed from September 25, is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. in Danville, Ky.
