FORT WAYNE, IND. - - The Madonna University women's soccer team earned their first win of the season at Indiana Tech by a score of 2-0.
With the win Madonna coach Jen Barker tallies her first victory in the young year after three consecutive one goal losses.
Madonna jumped out to a one-nil lead when Trisha Bender (Commerce, Mich.) scored in the 27th minute on a pass from Kaila Moore (Howell, Mich.).
The Crusaders took the 1-0 lead into the break despite having been out-shot seven to five in the first half of play.
