GRAND FORKS, N.D. – The Eastern Washington University women's soccer team lit up the scoreboard on the road against Big Sky Conference opponent North Dakota, setting three single-game school records in a 6-1 win on Sunday, Oct. 23.

EWU began the match in typical fashion, with junior Chloe Williams scoring the opening goal in the fifth minute off a pass from sophomore Allison Raniere. After UND answered with its own goal in the 11^th minute to tie game, the offensive onslaught began for the Eastern. Junior Delaney Romero took back the Eagles' lead in the 21^st minute with her second goal in as many matches, assisted by Williams on the play. Just one minute later, sophomore Jenny Chavez entered the scoring column with a goal off an Aimie Inthoulay pass. Williams would end the half with her second goal in the 42^nd minute, and Eastern would have its best scoring performance of the season in just 45 minutes of action.

With a full half left to play, and a 4-1 lead, EWU already had its season-high of 22 shots, and the Eagles would start the second period just as quickly as it did the first. Just 54 seconds from the start of the second, sophomore Devan Talley found the back of the net, giving Romero an assist. The offensive production would finally cease after the 67^th minute when freshman Brooke Dunbar's goal would give Raniere her second assist of the game and Eastern a 6-1 victory on the road.

"We have been in a bit of a rut the last few games and it was great to see our group respond today," said head coach Chad Bodnar. "Travel is always tough coming out here, and we just came off a tough game on Friday. But our kids played well and were very sharp in front of the goal."

The Eagles set three single-match records in today's contest and came close on two other marks. The team's six goals were a new high for the program, as well as the 15 corner kicks. EWU led the Fighting Hawks by five points, a larger mark than its previous season-high of goals scored in a game. That five-point lead is tied for the largest in school history.
