LAFAYETTE – Three first-half goals sparked a 4-1 victory for Western Kentucky over Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns women's soccer team here Friday night at Cajun Field in a Sun Belt Conference women's soccer match.
Crystal Chapon netted the Hilltoppers first goal of the match at the 6:16 mark when she raced past a pair of Cajun defenders and rifled a shot into the upper right corner of the net for an early 1-0 lead.
WKU (9-5-2, 4-1-2 Sun Belt) added two more goals in the final three minutes of the opening frame. Lauren Wilson and Erica Baker each scored as the Hilltoppers pushed their advantage to 3-0 at the break.
Betsy Duncan capped off the Toppers scoring with a goal at the 68:27 mark while Courtney Kelly scored her first career goal at 87:09 to help the Cajuns (6-11-1, 2-5 Sun Belt) avert the shutout.
Sherryl Owens sent in a free kick from 45 yards out that was tapped by Kelli Good to Kelly who booted the ball past WKU reserve goalkeeper Amy Uhlman.
The loss was the Cajuns third straight while WKU snapped a three-match winless streak.
UL Lafayette will wrap up the 2003 regular season on Sunday with a 1 p.m. match against Middle Tennessee (10-6-2, 4-1-2 Sun Belt).
