WAUKEGAN, Ill. -- The Alverno College women's soccer team picked up their first victory of the season today, 4-1, over host Robert Morris College-Lake County.

"We really took commanding control of the ball as a team, which resulted in great offensive opportunities," said Alverno head coach Angela Zuniga-Meyer.

The Inferno (1-2) had 14 shots on goal compared to Robert Morris's 6.

Alexandria Brenner (West Allis, Wis./Nathan Hale) led off the scoring for the game to put the Inferno ahead, 1-0. Freshman Cynthia Teschner (Union Grove, Wis.) assisted on the early first half goal.

Robert Morris responded quickly, evening the score, 1-1, but the Inferno would then rattle off three unanswered goals to end the game.

Before the end of the first half, sophomore forward Ellie LaFond (Waukesha, Wis./West) would score the go-ahead, and game winning goal which was assisted by Joslyn Binkowski (Greenfield, Wis.).

In the second half, Teschner would score on an unassisted long shot, putting the Inferno up, 3-1.

LaFond then scored her second goal of the contest, and third of the season, before the end of the game for the final score of 4-1. Brenner would assist on the final goal.

Senior Jess Kramer (Kenosha, Wis./Indian Trails) led Alverno in goal, tallying five saves and allowing one goal in 90 minutes of action.
