Four score in 4-1 BU win over Tabor

PAPILLION, Neb. -- Four different Bruins found the back of the net as the Bellevue University women's soccer team scored a 4-1 victory over Tabor College on Saturday evening.

The Bruins improve to 4-0-0 on the year while Tabor slides to 0-1-1.

Tabor looked dangerous early, but BU withstood that pressure before opening the scoring in the 31st minute. Mia Hurt played a bouncing ball to Ketlyn Rota behind the defense. Rota took a touch and a ball on a half-volley for a 1-0 Bellevue lead.

Hurt made it a 2-0 advantage in the 34th minute, hitting a free kick from 20 yards low and left of the wall.

Bellevue took that 2-0 lead into halftime on the strength of a 6-1 advantage in shots and 3-1 edge on goal.

Tabor halved the BU advantage in the 65th minute with a strike from April Ochoa.

Thoughts of a comeback were short-lived as Beverley netted his first goal less than 60 seconds later. Emma Madejsent in a cross from the near sideline that Wemhoff hit on the volley at the back post.

Claudia Gallegos put the game away with her 72nd-minute strike. After a Tabor foul at the corner of the box, Maju Serrano sent in a cross that Sinai Bernal tapped back to Gallegos, who buried the insurance strike. Bernal was playing her first game of the season after missing all of last year with an injury.

Bellevue out-shot Tabor 10-4 on the night, including 6-2 on goal, while corners were even at six apiece.

Neve Mulrooney made a pair of saves in the loss for Tabor, while Alessia Ricciardi recorded one save in the Bruin win.

The Bruins travel to Seward, Neb., on Wednesday, Sept. 4, for a 5:30 p.m. non-conference affair against Concordia University (1-1-0).
