SOMERS, Wis. (Sept. 29, 2013)-- Four unanswered  goals, including three in the second half, propelled the University of Wisconsin-Parkside women's soccer team to a 4-1 victory over Maryville University in a Great Lakes Valley Conference showdown on Sunday afternoon at Wood Road Field.

Maryville (0-7-1, 0-5-1) seized an early lead with Amanda Wiechens finding the back of the net off a feed from Sam Kruse in the 15th minute. The Rangers (5-2-1, 3-2-1GLVC) equalized in the 41st minute with Darby Moran coming off the bench and collecting the first goal of her collegiate career.

The two sides remained deadlocked at intermission with UW-Parkside owning a 9-6 edge in shots.

Emily Konior increased the buffer to two goals just four minutes later, converting on a free kick of her own as the shot bended past the Saints' wall and into the lower corner of the goal.

Kaela Hoecherl finished up the scoring in the 54th minute, beating the keeper for her team-leading fourth score of the season with Jasmine Espino earning her third assist of the year.
