ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- The No. 24 Jennies soccer team turned in their fourth shutout in five matches this season, blanking the Lindenwood Lions to open the team's MIAA schedule on Friday night. 

Jennies (4-0-1, 1-0-0 MIAA) freshman midfielder Baylie Edwards got things started in the fifth minute, scoring her second goal of the season on the first of two assists from junior Julie Ireland, spotting UCM with a 1-0 lead. 

In the 81st minute in the game's second half, Ireland dished out her second assist of the night, this time to freshman midfielder Emily Franchett, strengthening UCM's lead to 2-0. 

The Jennies outshot Lindenwood, 7-5, (5-3 in shots on goal) and held a 3-0 advantage in corner kicks.

Central Missouri's freshman goalkeeper Ana Dilkes picked up her fourth shutout, saving three shots and improving to 4-0-1 on the season. The Jennies maintain an unbeaten record through the first five matches for the third time in the past five seasons (2010, 2012).

UCM will return home to play Northwest Missouri this Sunday, Sept. 21 for a 1 p.m. first kick.
