History <\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n MANKATO, Minn. \u2014 Minnesota State defeated Concordia-St. Paul 4-0 Friday at The Pitch. Minnesota State scored three times in the first half and added one goal after halftime while holding Concordia-St. Paul scoreless. The Mavericks dominated throughout the first half building a lead which they would not lose. The Golden Bears fought back hard in the second half but could not convert.<\/p>\n Amara Smith<\/a> scored the game-winning goal, added an assist and led Minnesota State with four shots, including three on goal.\u00a0Lauren McAlpine<\/a> played 90 minutes in goal, made six saves and recorded her tenth shutout of the season. Mila Rustin<\/a> tallied a goal and an assist on two shots. Anna Stromberg<\/a> converted her lone shot into an unassisted goal. It was Stromberg’s first goal of the season.<\/p>\n Concordia-St. Paul had the first shot on frame when Lexi Pettit forced a save from Lauren McAlpine<\/a> at 1:02 before Minnesota State scored three times in less than six minutes\u00a0with Smith factoring into all three goals as the Mavericks built a 3-0 halftime lead. Earlier, McAlpine made a save in the opening minutes,\u00a0 before Smith beat a CSP defender downfield and finished off Rustin’s assist at 15:33 for the first goal. Smith then assisted Rustin just 40 seconds later on a long-range shot that caught Sydney Potter off guard.\u00a0Not long after Meghan Sullivan<\/a> floated a perfect pass that Archer was able to redirect a header into the back of the net, turning Minnesota State’s early opportunities into a three-goal advantage. Archer now has\u00a0five goals on the season,\u00a0good for second best on the team. The Mavericks kept creating chances after that, earning three corner kicks from 26:08 to 32:31 while Meghan Przybilla<\/a> forced a save and Archer hit the woodwork.\u00a0Concordia-St. Paul generated later looks, including saves by McAlpine on Sophia Haase at 30:55 and 38:10, but Minnesota State carried the 3-0 advantage into halftime.<\/p>\n Stromberg scored a rocket of a goal in the 83rd minute to account for the half’s only goal and put Minnesota State ahead 4-0. Earlier, the second half opened with chances both ways, as Amara Smith<\/a> had a shot saved at 46:03, Lauren McAlpine<\/a> stopped Lexi Pettit at 46:44, and Sydney Potter saved Smith’s penalty kick at 50:53.\u00a0 Minnesota State later generated a sustained attacking stretch with three corners and three shots from the 73rd through 82nd minutes, including two attempts by Callie Stanley<\/a> and a saved shot by Przybilla before Stromberg’s goal. Addie Baumhauer<\/a> added another saved shot in the 86th minute, and McAlpine made a final phenomenal save on a long range shot in the 89th as Minnesota State closed out the 4-0 win.
