STORM LAKE, Iowa (Sept. 4, 2024) - Four different players scored for the Buena Vista University women's soccer team on Wednesday afternoon as the Beavers pulled away in the second half for a commanding 5-1 victory against North Central University (MN) inside of J. Leslie Rollins Stadium.

BVU wasted no time getting onto the scoreboard as senior Chloe Lippert took a nice lead-in pass from Bailey Gibbons and knocked it past the keeper for a goal only two-and-a-half minutes into the match. That's how things stood until the final 1:30 of the half when freshman Emma Haley scored her first career goal off an assist from fellow freshman Sienna Becker.

BVU picked right up to start the second half where it left off to end the first. Senior Mia Norton was the recipient of a pair of nice passes from both Hailey Chambers and Bailey Gibbons to register her second career goal and make it a 3-0 advantage only two minutes into the half.

The Rams, despite finishing with only five total shots in the contest, avoided the shutout with a goal late in the 51'. Lippert added her second goal of the day just eight minutes later to again make it a three-goal cushion before the Beavers ended the scoring with Chambers' goal early in the 64'.

Chambers (6), Lippert (5) and Norton (4) combined for 15 of BVU's season-high 21 shots in the match. Norton finished with one goal and a pair of assists, Chambers with her goal and one assists, Lippert with two goals and Gibbons with two assists.

Buena Vista bumps its record up to 2-0-1 overall and will continue its home schedule again on Sunday, Sept. 8, by hosting Waldorf University at 1 p.m.
