WARRENSBURG, Mo. - The No. 14 ranked Jennies soccer team sent the 2013 senior class out with a 5-0 victory over Northwest Missouri, assuring themselves of at least a share of the MIAA conference championship on Saturday night at the South Recreation Complex.

With at least a share of the title, it marks the fourth consecutive conference championship the Jennies soccer program (12-2-2, 8-1-1 MIAA) has claimed and the sixth in the past seven seasons.

Jennies senior midfielder Carly Stanley collected two assists in the contest, moving her into first place on UCM's all-time assists list with 26.

Senior Samantha Wilkes scored her second goal of the season in the fifth minute when she received a pass from Stanley and fired a shot point-blank range in front of the Bearcats net. The assist was Stanley's eighth of the season.

In the 47th minute, senior Becky Lackey scored the first of her two goals on the night on a shot from the left side of the box, giving the Jennies a 2-0 lead.

Lackey's second goal came nearly 12 minutes later in the 58th minute when she beat the goalkeeper on a shot from the left side of the box on a cross from Stanley.

Central Missouri increased the advantage to 4-0 when Claire Richards found Bailey Hensley in the 72nd minute on a cross in front of the net for the score.

The Jennies' final score came in minute 87 when Alysa Guzman facilitated a breakaway to find Hensely for the goal, cementing the 5-0 victory.

Senior goalkeeper Jessica Grindstaff recorded the win to improve to 6-1-0 on the season.

Central Missouri will visit Northwest Missouri on Friday, November 1 for a 3 p.m. first kick.
