MOORHEAD, Minn. – The Golden Bears soccer team (3-7-4, 3-4-4 NSIC) notched their third conference win of the season at MSU Moorhead (3-10, 2-9 NSIC) by a score of 3-0 on Sunday afternoon.
 
"A dominant team performance got us a well-deserved win. We will learn from this game and be ready to finish as strong as possible." Head coach Steve Bellis said following the win.
 
Concordia has been struggling to score goals early in games this season, but that changed against Moorhead. Jordan Rowan-Stafford sent a nice lob pass to the far post, where Jade Weller made an impressive jumping kick that sent the ball to the back of the net, giving CSP an early 1-0 lead.
 
The Golden Bears almost doubled their lead in the 21st minute of the first half when Rowan-Stafford fired a laser of a shot from about 15 yards out, but the Dragons goalkeeper, Reagan VonBerge made an incredible diving save to keep Concordia's lead only at one.
 
CSP controlled nearly the entire first half as they outshot MSU Moorhead 9-4, three of which were on goal. Weller led the team with three first half shots for the Golden Bears. Lealah Abraham nearly added a second goal for Concordia just before the half but her shot went just over the upper right corner of the net.
 
In second half it was all Golden Bears as they again took won the advantage in the shot column outshooting the Dragons 9-3 in the second half. Colette Piche would also score her first goal of the season in the 63rd minute of the game off an assist by Jade Weller giving Concordia a two goal lead.
 
Weller would add to her already well-played game as she added her second goal of the game in the 89th minute off an assist from Chelsie Lindsay to help the Golden Bears escape with a 3-0 win on the road.
 
Emily Nelson would take the win in net for CSP as she made three saves on the afternoon while not allowing single goal for her fourth shutout of the season.
 
Jade Weller played a great game as she came away with five points and led the offensive attack for the Golden Bears finishing with five shots. Erica Landry added three shots for CSP, while Jordan Rowan-Stafford and Mary Kaiser each attempted two shots. Ten different players attempted a shot during the game for Concordia.
 
MSU Moorhead was led by Ashley Coleman who attempted a team-high three shots for the Dragons. Jessica Johnson added two shots for the game.
