LINCOLN, Neb. (9/07/24)---It was a football Saturday for the Cobbers in their second weekend of the season. Concordia scored a touchdown and added the extra point as they blanked Cornell (Iowa) 7-0 in the first of two games at Neb. Wesleyan.

The Cobbers got goals from seven different players and had four athletes post their first collegiate strike in the team's most lopsided victory since the 2019 campaign when they blanked Buena Vista by a similar 7-0 score line.   

The seven goals are the most in a single game since Concordia downed Minn.-Morris 7-2 at the start of the 2022 season.

Concordia didn't score until the 14th minute of play and added two more in the final five minutes of the opening half to take a 3-0 lead into the break. CC added a fourth in the 11th minute of the second half and then two more less than seven minutes apart starting at the 70:07 mark to put the game out of reach.

Junior Kylee James scored the game-winning goal. She netted her second career goal at 13:51.

The game would stay at 1-0 until the 41:16 mark when Emma Sheflo netted her first goal of the year after leading the Cobbers in scoring last year.

Ava Sylvester started the parade of first-time scorers when she upped the score to 3-0 with only 1:03 left in the first half.

Kara Ellis opened the second-half scoring when she struck for her first goal of the year at 55:47.

The final three goals were all produced by players who recorded their opening goal in maroon and gold. Kaydence Swiers gave CC a 5-0 lead at 70:07. She was followed by Reese Christ at 76:20 and Lucy Halverson at 86:09.

Concordia outshot the Rams 41-7 in total shots with Sylvester recording a game-high seven shots. CC had 29 shots on goal. Sheflo and Sylvester both had five strikes on frame.

Kaitlin Petrich played the first 75:08 to record her second win of the year. First-year goalie Mia Rodriguez saw her first college action and made two saves in 14:52 of play.

Concordia will finish off its Nebraska trip when they play Neb. Wesleyan on Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
