ROCK ISLAND -- The Augustana Vikings women's soccer team earned their fourth shutout of the season and third in a row on Sunday, defeating the visiting Lakeland Muskies by a score of 1-0 at Thorson-Lucken Field.

The two teams played a scoreless 45 minutes to begin the game, but the Vikings saw plenty of opportunities after posting a 12-4 advantage in the opening half. Half of the Muskies' shots in the first were on target, both stopped by Kierstyn Rogers, who was making her second consecutive start in net. Neither team could muster a goal as the game sat at 0-0 entering the second half.

Another 10 minutes went by of scoreless action before a penalty inside the Lakeland box drawn by Jordyn Swanson set up a penalty kick for the Vikings. Ximena Osorio-Rodgriguez snuck her penalty strike just under the hands of the keeper and across the line, giving Augie the 1-0 advantage. The Vikings continued to keep the offensive pressure on, posting 12 shots in the second half while holding the Muskies to just two. Half of Lakeland's shots were on target, all stopped by Rogers.

As a team, Augustana finished with 24 shots, 11 on goal, and were led by four apiece from Liesl Whitener and Osorio-Rodgriguez.

With the win, Augustana improves to 4-1 on the season. The team will remain at home for their next game on Wednesday, September 13 when they host the Central Dutch.
