With defeat of Park Central women retain No. 1 seed in tourney

Posted

Behind five first-half goals, the No. 5 Central Methodist women’s soccer team defeated Park University 6-0 in the regular-season finale Saturday afternoon in Parkville, Missouri. 

With the victory, Central finishes the regular season with a 16-1 overall record and a perfect 12-0 mark in conference action. The Eagles have not lost a regular-season Heart match since October 10, 2020, extending their conference winning streak to 21 matches.  

Sophomore Sandra Jakobsen and senior Andrea Villar opened up the scoring with back-to-back goals just 30 seconds apart in the first seven minutes of action.

Villar tallied her 23rd goal of the year in the 23rd minute unassisted, pushing Central’s lead to 3-0. Senior Roneisha Frank followed with the fourth goal of the match less than two minutes later on a header off a deflection.

Sophomore defender Alicia Zamora added to CMU’s lead with a goal in the 35th minute unassisted. CMU would enter the halftime break with a commanding 5-0 advantage. 

Zamora sealed the 6-0 victory with her second goal of the match off the assist from sophomore Kitti Torok in the 57th minute.

Villar moved up to No. 4 on the CMU all-time single-season goal-scoring list with 23 goals in 17 matches.

The Eagles have earned the No. 1 overall seed in the conference tournament and will face the No. 8 seed, Clarke at 6 p.m. Saturday at Davis Field.
