ST. JOSEPH – The Missouri Western soccer team continued its dominance of the Stoney Creek MIAA/GAC Crossover with a 3-0 win over Harding Sunday afternoon.

Missouri Western is now a perfect 8-0 all-time in the conference challenge event, and outscored its opponents 11-1 this weekend.

MENKE TIED FOR FIRST
Cassidy Menke scored her third and fourth goals of the season in Sunday’s win over Harding, giving her 13 in her MWSU career. She’s now tied for the most goals in a Griffon career with Abby Widrig. The two scores along with an assist Sunday on Sydney Cluck’s header gave Menke 28 career points, good for second all-time at MWSU and just two behind Widrig for first.

SCORING MACHINE
Chad Edwards promised more scoring this season and so far, he’s been right. MWSU’s scoring average is now at 5.5 goals per game. The Griffons’ 11 goals through the first two games of 2017 were by far the most in program history. The 2014 Griffons scored seven in their first two games, the previous record. With 16 games left to play, MWSU needs 16 more goals to break the program record for goals in a season. Missouri Western will also enter its third game of the season with 32 points, just 41 off the program record set in 2009.

HOW THEY SCORED
Menke struck first with a penalty kick in the 32nd minute. Cluck’s header came in the 53rd minute off a Menke assist. Then Menke adder her second of the game in the 59th minute with assists to Cluck and Ashley Mathis.

UP NEXT
The Griffons head northwest to take on Northern State (1-0) in Aberdeen, South Dakota on Friday, Sept. 8 before playing at Sioux Falls (1-1) on Sept. 10.
