Golden Eagles Blank Jaguars, 5-0


Tulsa, Okla.

-- The Oral Roberts University women's soccer team jumped out to an early first half lead and maintained their defensive intensity after halftime en route to a 5-0 shutout of Mid-Continent Conference opponent IUPUI at the ORU Soccer Complex Friday night. Freshman Jessica Kellogg (Tulsa, Okla.) led a balanced Golden Eagle attack with two goals and an assist to tally a five point performance.


Freshman goalkeeper Kellie Fenton (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) recorded the second shutout of her career for ORU (4-5-1, 2-0), as the Golden Eagle defense dominated their half of the field, holding IUPUI (2-9-1, 0-3) to four shots on the evening.


Senior forward Tessa Long (Tulsa, Okla.) contributed two assists on the night, giving herself sole possession of second place on the Golden Eagle's list for points in a career. She came into the night tied for second with Kari Shoemaker at 56 points, but her assist on Kellogg's second score of the night pushed her ahead. Long now only trails teammate Jodi Kirkhuff (65 points) on ORU's all-time points list.


Kellogg started off the scroing for ORU (4-5-1, 2-0) at the game's 7:06 mark, dribbling through a crowd of defenders before beating the keeper with an unassisted goal. Another Kellogg goal put the Golden Eagles up 2-0 only 20 minutes into the night's match. That lead would be extended to 3-0 before halftime when Jodi Kirkhuff (Tulsa, Okla.) found find her own seam in the Jagaur's defense to add a goal of her own.


ORU would begin the second half just as they ended the first, as a Martha Owens' (Claremore, Okla.) corner kick would be redirected off the head of Kirkhuff to make it a 4-0 game. Erin Hartog (Tulsa, Okla.) finished off the night's scoring in the 55th minute, taking a feed from Kellogg at the top of the box and arching back into the top right hand corner of the net.


The Golden Eagles recorded a season-high 29 shots, with 16 of those coming on goal.


ORU will put their undefeated conference record on the line this Sunday as they play host to defending Mid-Con champion Oakland at the ORU Soccer Complex. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m.
