Rocklin,Calif. — The Concordia University Irvine women's soccer team delivered a dominant offensive performance Friday, defeating Jessup 7-1 on the road. The Golden Eagles scored five goals in the second half to secure the victory and improve to 8-1-4 overall and 5-0-1 in PacWest play.
Concordia opened the scoring in the sixth minute when Bella Barrett found the back of the net off an assist from Avery Munoz. Ashley Grubert extended the lead in the 29th minute, giving the Golden Eagles a 2-0 advantage. Jessup answered before halftime to cut the deficit to one.
The Golden Eagles took control after the break, scoring five unanswered goals. Reagan Van Horn started the second-half scoring in the 59th minute off an assist from Sloane De Torres. Less than a minute later, Irandy Erazo scored with an assist from Grubert to extend the lead to 4-1.
