GOODWELL, Okla. -- Senior Vanessa Reynoso's scored an early goal and added a late assist in a 3-0 victory by the No. 16 John Brown University women's soccer team over Oklahoma Panhandle State on Friday (March 5) afternoon at Carl Wooten Field.
Netting her seventh career goal and first of the season, Reynoso – assisted by freshman Gifte Pavatt – powered the Golden Eagles (4-0-0, 4-0-0 Sooner Athletic) to a perfect 4-0 start for the first time since 2016.
Out-shooting the hosts 19-3, senior Caitlyn Logan wasn't needed for a second-straight match as the John Brown defense kept all three Aggie attempts off target. JBU held a 9-0 shooting advantage through the first half despite the narrow 1-0 lead.
Freshman Lauren Walter continued her torrid scoring streak – netting her fifth goal in four outings off a feed from senior Audrey Balafas. Two minutes later in the 60th minute, the Golden Eagles pushed the margin to three when senior Sienna Nealon deposited her third of the season past OPSU keeper Bailey White. Reynoso assisted on the tally.
Nealon posted a match-high five shots, and three on target. Pavatt's assist was her first collegiate point.
John Brown returns to action on Saturday (March 13) afternoon when it welcomes Oklahoma City to Alumni Field for a 1 p.m. kick-off. The match is slated to air on the SAC Sports Network.
