MORRIS, Minn. - Minnesota Morris scored three first half goals then added two more late in collecting a 5-0 shutout over UW-Superior Saturday in the women's soccer UMAC opener for both teams at the Cougar Soccer Field.

Less than three minutes into the contest, the Cougars were already on the scoreboard. Molly Hancuh found Brooke Lorentz along the left side. With the left foot, Lorentz hit the inside of the post and rolled into the right side of the net for the early Cougar lead. In the 14th minute, after assists from Tiffany Oren and Sam Tate, Hancuh dribbled her way around defenders to connect for a 2-0 lead. Freshman Sam Tate scored her first collegiate goal off a pass from Megan Ellingboe to make it 3-0 Cougars.

It remained that way until late in the contest before Lindsay Clay scored on a penalty kick goal in the 87th minute and Hancuh added her second tally of the game in the 89th minute.

The Cougars outshot the Yellowjackets 23-7 on the afternoon and held a 15-2 edge in shots on goal.

Minnesota Morris (3-3, 1-0 in UMAC) next plays Tuesday home to Northwestern at 4:15 p.m.
