SILOAM SPRINGS -- For the third time this season and the second time in three matches, the No. 10 John Brown University poured in seven goals in a clean-sheet win over Central Christian (Kan.) on Tuesday (Ot. 17) afternoon at Alumni Field.
The Golden Eagles (12-2-0, 6-0-0 Sooner Athletic) ran its shutout streak to five consecutive matches in which JBU has out-scored its opponents by a 25-0 margin.
Senior Lauren Walter scored her second hat trick of the season, including back-to-back header goals off corner service to kick off the scoring for the Golden Eagles, with assists coming from freshman Julia Lambert and sophomore Aubrey Winter, respectively. The hosts built a 2-0 lead by the 17th minute of play.
Senior Alyssa Henderson assisted senior Rachel Stone's first of the afternoon in the 30th minute before sophomore Karen Flores dug the ball out of the corner and beautifully set up freshman Addie Craig for a blistering one-touch for her first collegiate goal, ballooning the margin to four at the intermission.
Winter, Walter and Stone scored in the second half as the Golden Eagles piled up a 31-4 shooting advantage over the Tigers, and a 12-2 corner kick chances margin, in favor of John Brown.
Ten different Golden Eagles registered a point in the win, with Lambert and Flores picking up a pair of helpers apiece.
John Brown returns to action on Saturday (Oct. 21) evening for its regular-season home finale when the Golden Eagles welcome Mid-America Christian (Okla.) to Alumni Field for Senior Night. The match is slated to kick off at 5 p.m. and will be streamed live on the SAC Sports Network.
