ST. BONIFACIUS, Minn.- The University of Northwestern Women's Soccer team had won three games in a row as they traveled on the road to take on Crown College on Saturday night. The Eagles extended that winning streak to four consecutive games as they defeated the Polars 3-0.
These two teams played earlier this season on September 22
nd in what was a tightly contested contest that ended in a tie. For the first 60 minutes of Saturday's contest, it was more of the same.

With the offense struggling to get that first goal, the Eagles' two leading scorers stepped up to get the Eagles on the board.
Haley Mersberger (Kiel, Wisc./Elkhart Lake Glenbeulah) was the one who finally broke the scoreless tie in the 63
rd minute when she scored her 19th goal of the season. The Eagles led 1-0 and would get some insurance goals as
Megan Moeller (Sheboygan, Wis./Sheboygan Christian School) scored her 9th goal of the season with the assist coming from Megan Corbett, and then Corbett would score herself in the 87th minute. The goal was her first of the season and was assisted by
Mya Chan (Brandon, S.D./Homeschool).
Delaynee Bohatta (Hammond, WI/St. Croix Central) started in goal for the Eagles and finished with a shutout as she made two saves.
Megan Moeller (Sheboygan, Wis./Sheboygan Christian School) led the Eagles' offense with three shots in the contest as
