Women's Soccer 10/16/01 -- Augsburg 4, St. Olaf 0
MINNEAPOLIS (10/16/01) --
Jenny Martin (Fr., Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata HS) scored two goals Tuesday night, leading Augsburg College to a 4-0 shutout win over St. Olaf College in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's soccer game at Augsburg's Edor Nelson Field.
It was Augsburg's first win over St. Olaf since 1996, as the Auggies improved to 6-7-1 overall and 4-4-1 in MIAC play by winning their final home game of the season. St. Olaf dropped to 8-6-0 overall and 4-4-0 in the MIAC.
Martin scored both her goals in similar fashion, taking advantage of a pop-fly pass to beat the defense and Ole goalkeeper Jillian Helseth (Jr., Hartford, S.D.) to the ball, and firing the ball into an open net. Her first goal, in the 13th minute, came on a feed from
Heidi Hilleren (So., Duluth, Minn./Duluth East HS); Martin's second tally came on a pass from
Carrie Velenchenko (Fr., Maple Grove, Minn.) in the 57th minute.
Augsburg scored its final three goals of the game in a 10-minute stretch.
Kristi Ofstad (So., Rapid City, S.D./Rapid City Stevens HS) claimed a goal by popping a loose ball past the defenders and off a St. Olaf player on a Hilleren corner kick in the 62nd minute, and Velenchenko completed the scoring by being the last person to tap in the ball in front from a 25-yard feed from
Kristen Lideen * (So., Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park HS) in the 67th minute.
Augsburg was outshot by a 16-14 margin, but controlled the tempo for most of the game. Augsburg had 10 corner kicks to St.Olaf's seven.
Auggie goalkeepers
Laura Hoffman (So., Bloomington, Minn./Kennedy HS) and
Sarah Sletten (So., Churches Ferry, N.D./Devil's Lake HS) combined for a shutout, with Hoffman making three saves in 76 minutes and Sletten making two saves in 14 minutes. Hoffman made a key save with 19 minutes remaining, stopping a penalty kick by St. Olaf's Karen Hamre (Sr., Roseville, Minn.) by diving to her left to preserve the shutout.
Helseth, playing in place of injured regular Elizabeth Brandell (So., Apple Valley, Minn.), made seven saves for the Oles. Stacy Gauger (Sr., Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS) had five shots, while Hamre had four shots to lead the Oles.
Augsburg finishes the season with three games on the road, starting with a nonconference game at Wisconsin-River Falls on Friday (10/19) at 4 p.m. St. Olaf returns action with a nonconference game on Saturday (10/20), hosting Nebraska Wesleyan at 3 p.m.
