LAKEVILLE, Ind. --- The TIU women's soccer team visited north-central Indiana on Wednesday afternoon as they took on the Titans of Indiana University-South Bend in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) action. Coming off a narrow 1-0 win at Roosevelt last weekend, the Trojans looked to put together a strong performance against a struggling Titans team ahead of a key conference match-up this coming Saturday.
Trinity overwhelmed their opponents from the start, with Emily Soriaga putting the Trojans ahead with an unassisted goal in the third minute of play. Morgan Busick, Payton Siragusa, and Kailynd Tubb would each score over the course of the next 20 minutes to give TIU a 4-0 lead. Micah Wassink would find the back of the net in the 41st minute, while Lauren Corral scored the first of two goals just before halftime in the 42nd minute, giving the Trojans a 6-0 lead at the break.
Trinity continued the offensive output in the second half as Kalie Rice notched TIU's seventh goal of the day in the 61st minute. Five minutes later, Abigail Olsson netted back-to-back goals in the 66th and 67th minutes for her third multi-goal match of the season. Corral put the final touches on the afternoon in the 73rd minute on an assist by Nicole Boudakh, closing out a dominating 10-0 victory.
