Box Score

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College junior Mia Persson scored twice for the No. 1-ranked Blue Raiders in a 3-0 win over host Georgetown (Ky.) College.

With the win, Lindsey Wilson (8-0-1, 3-0 in the Mid-South Conference) moves into sole possession of first place in the MSC. Georgetown falls to 5-4-2 overall and 3-1 in the conference.

After a scoreless first half, Persson ignited the Blue Raider offense with a pair of goals within 23 seconds of one another.

Persson put the Blue Raiders in front 1-0 with a header past Georgetown goalkeeper and reigning MSC Defensive Player of the Week Cathie Shaver at the 57:18 mark. Lindsey Wilson senior Heini Metsola set up the go-ahead goal with her first assist of the season.

Persson doubled the Lindsey Wilson lead at the 57:41 mark with a finish to Shaver's left from just inside the penalty area. The goal is Persson's team-leading fifth of the season.

Lindsey Wilson -- who out-shot the Tigers 19-9 for the match -- added a third goal in the 65th minute when junior Hanna Jonsson scored off an Ida Gregersen assist to give the Blue Raiders a 3-0 lead.

Lindsey Wilson senior goalkeeper Jordan Morrison picked up the shutout win while collecting eight saves. Shaver finished the match allowing three goals and seven saves.

Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 5 p.m. CT on Saturday as the Blue Raiders host Shawnee State (Ohio) University at Walter S. Reuling Stadium.
