MARSHALL, Minn. (Sept. 7, 2016)-- The fourth ranked Central Missouri Jennies picked up their third win of the season defeating Southwest Minnesota State 2-0 on the road Wednesday night. The Jennies improve to 3-0 on the season and have posted shutouts in all three wins.

Senior Hannah Pyle got the Jennies on the board late in the second half off an assist from junior Kayla Hamner for the game winner. Junior Mikala Modiri added the second goal minutes later to secure the Jennies second road win of the season.

In net, junior goalkeeper Ana Dilkes stopped all five shots she faced and picked up her 29th career shutout win and third straight of the season.

The Jennies applied defensive pressure in the first half allowing only four shots by the Mustangs. Central Missouri had opportunites to score with three shots on goal in the first half, but could not connect. They entered halftime tied at zero.

In the second half the Jennies picked up the pace taking 17 shots total and allowed only one. Despite the high number of shots the Jennies remained scoreless throughout most of the half. That changed in the 76th minute when Pyle picked up her first goal of the season nailing a shot just past the goalkeeper off an assist from Hamner. Hamner's assist is her first of the season as well.

Just over five minutes later, Modiri scored her first goal of the season, netting the ball past the goalkeeper's hands to put the Jennies up 2-0 and seal their third win of the season.

The Jennies will travel to North Dakota on Saturday, Sept. 10 to take on Northern Sun foe Minot State. The Jennies faced Minot State twice in 2015, defeating them both times. This will be the sixth overall meeting between the two programs. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
