the half, Jayme Ross struck for three second half goals to lead the
Southwest Baptist Bearcats to a 4-0 win over the Missouri Southern

minutes into the second half off a corner kick from inside the box.
Two minutes later Ross scored the first of her three straight
goals for a two-goal lead.
Ross then found a free ball inside the box and headed it in for
a 3-0 Bearcat advantage at the 65:36 mark.
Ross finished the scoring by putting in a shot from the center
of the box in the 75th minute.
SBU out-shot the Lions 13-5 overall and 9-2 on-goal.
Vick had a match-high four shots while five different Lions each
recorded a shot-attempt.
