Kellogg, Fenton lead Women's Soccer to First Win


Tulsa, Okla.

-- The Oral Robert's University women's soccer team got a strong showing from a pair of freshmen en route to a 3-0 victory over previously Portland State Friday night at the ORU Soccer Complex. A pair of second-half goals by forward Jessica Kellogg (Tulsa, Okla.) and goalkeeper Kellie Fenton's first career shutout propelled the Golden Eagles to their first victory of the season.


After a scoreless first-half, ORU (1-2) came out of the gate strong in the second and proved to be too much for the Vikings (2-1) to handle. Kellogg scored her first goal on the night in the 61st minute, as fellow freshman Lindsey Ruisch found her streaking across the middle of the box. Just ten minutes later Kellogg netted her third goal of the season, a point-blank shot off a deflected attempt by Jodi Kirkhuff (Tulsa, Okla.).


Those two goals were more than enough for Fenton, as she recorded six saves on the way to her first career shutout. Fenton and the Golden Eagle defense limited the Vikings to only 12 shots for the entire game.


Kirkhuff put the game way out of reach at the game's 83:38 mark, knocking in her first goal of the year off a cross by teammate Kris Bramlett (Tulsa, Okla.).


ORU will return to action this Sunday, as they conclude a four-game home stand at the ORU Soccer Complex with a match against the University of Louisianna-Lafayette at 1:00 p.m.
