FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The St. Francis women's soccer team fell behind just over 10 minutes into the match, but the Cougars responded with three unanswered goals for their third straight victory on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012. Bluffton dropped to 1-3 on the season, while USF improved to 4-3.

Sophomore KAYLEEN MEARDITH (Kinsman/Badger) capitalized in minute 11, giving Bluffton a quick 1-0 lead over St. Francis. The home team knotted the match at one when KRISTEN CALLconnected with HEATHER JONES at the 29:26 mark.

USF added a pair of tallies in the first 15 minutes of period two en route to a 3-1 victory over the Beavers. It marked the third straight setback for Bluffton following a season-opening 10-0 win at Andrews University.

The Cougars finished with a 22-6 advantage in shots, including 13-5 on frame. USF forced six more corner kicks (8-2) while committing three more fouls (7-4). MADDIE MOORE (Linn Grove, Ind./South Adams) and AIMEE WHITMER (Grand Rapids/Otsego) topped Bluffton with two shots each.
