SPEARFISH, S.D. – The Fort Lewis College women's soccer team got ahead early and never looked back in a 2-0 win over Black Hills State University on Friday afternoon.

The Skyhawks had 19 shots for the match compared to 11 for the Yellow Jackets. Fort Lewis also held the edge in shots on goal with seven to BHSU's five.

Sophomore Katlyn Rosenbaum and junior Katherine Dunbabin split time at goalkeeper with the duo totaling five saves.

Lewis found an opportunity just two minutes into the contest, dribbling the ball past a pair of defenders into the box. The senior sent a shot on goal, but a defender crashed in to block the attempt. Sophomore Aubrey Swindle and senior Katie Smith added offensive pressure in the following minutes, but the score remained locked at zeros. The Yellow Jackets countered with two shots on goal with Rosenbaum earning saves on each attempt.

Fort Lewis continued to maintain offensive pressure throughout the half, and the Skyhawks found a go-ahead in the 31st minute. Gonzales was the team's goal scorer, marking her second of the season, as the freshman tipped it by the opposing keeper. The one goal lead stood heading into the break with the Skyhawks holding a 14-5 advantage in shots.

The Skyhawks wasted no time adding to the lead with Gonzales' second goal coming in the 52nd minute for a 2-0 advantage. The Yellow Jackets sent a shot on goal in the 55th minute with Dunbabin making her first save of the match. The FLC defense held true through the second half, keeping the home team off the board with time expiring on the 2-0 shutout.
