Senior Riley Baldwin started the game out with a bang. The Golden Eagles took the opening kickoff straight to the house as Baldwin capitalized off the feed from Samantha Guzman and scored her first goal of her career less than 40 seconds into the match.
ORU wouldn’t stop there. Twenty minutes later, Ariana Fresquez found Gabrielle Abbey on the back end of a corner kick where Abbey headed the ball into the back of the net, her third score of the year.
The Golden Eagles (3-3-3) controlled the remainder of the first half and took a 2-0 lead into the break.
Less than seven minutes into the second half, Jordyn Blackburn lofted a pass behind the defensive line where Samantha Guzman made a perfect run and headed the ball right past the keeper to stretch the lead to three.
To put an exclamation point on the night, senior Kennedy Langebartels connected with Gabrielle Abbey and Haley Nichols as she scored the final goal of the evening for ORU and earned her first goal of the season.
The Golden Eagles are back in action at 7 p.m. Sunday when they travel out to “The Mile High City” to take on the University of Denver Pioneers.
