Freshman Asia Owens took the Vikings only shot for the game in the tenth minute before it was saved by Torri Jordan. The Cougars' Rachel Burns put the first goal on the board in the 28th minute to go up 1-0 and Carly Denler put another one into the back of the net seconds before intermission to grab a 2-0 lead.

Kebra Rogers and Rachel Burns each earned a goal for the Cougars as their strong defense led them to the shutout victory.

The Bethany women's soccer team will try to rebound in their next game Friday at 2:15 pm at home against St. Scholastica.
