SHREVEPORT, La. – Four different Oral Roberts University women's soccer players scored to lead the Golden Eagles to a 4-0 victory over Centenary on Friday night.

Senior Correne Walker (Greater Portmore, Jamaica) led off the offensive barrage at the 11:07 mark after receiving the ball from Tara Lomas (Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada) and beating the goalkeeper one-on-one. The goal was Walker's third of the season and Lomas' fourth assist on the year.

With less than two minutes remaining in the opening half, senior Lorena Soto (Asuncion, Paraguay) converted her third goal of the season, lifting it over the keeper's head from 10 yards out. Freshman Maria Grados (Stillwater, Okla.) tallied her fourth assist on the play.

Natalya Manyan (St. Andrew, Jamaica) gave ORU a 3-0 advantage in the 57th minute off an assist from Alison McGuire (Sand Springs, Okla.) for her team-leading seventh goal of the season.
