ORANGE BEACH, Ala. – Five Blue Raiders found the back of the net as the Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team defeated Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) 5-1 in the Second Round of the 2013 NAIA National Championship on Monday.

Both teams opened the game with a fast tempo, taking a pair of shots each before Ayaki Shinada put the Blue Raiders (20-3-0) on the board in the 12th minute. A double-assist was awarded to Natasha Gensetter and Renee Hurd, while Shinada increased her streak of scoring to nine games.

Lindsey Wilson continued to push forward, with Alice Coyne playing the ball off the left end line back into the middle of the box to Emilia Jonsson, who connected to make it 2-0 in the 35th minute. The Blue Raiders would take that lead into the break.

Renee Hurd netted a goal early in the second half, beating a one-on-one matchup on the right side to shoot a curler that sneaked in near the right post. Coyne would add a goal of her own a few minutes later, receiving a pass from Shinada on the left side and burying a shot in the top-left corner.

The Blue Raiders pressured the Tiger back line for most of the second half. Anna Vig would score the final Lindsey Wilson goal from the top right of the box to make it 5-0 in the 78th minute.

Keeper Sarah Vrosh made seven saves for the Tigers (17-4-2) in the loss. Olivet Nazarene would not quit, however, and Elizabeth Wahl was able to score in the waning moments of the match to make it 5-1.

Blue Raider goalkeeper Johanna Henrikson collected one save in the win as the Blue Raiders limited any scoring opportunities for the Tigers. Lindsey Wilson outshot Olivet Nazarene 25-5 and held the advantage in corner kicks 8-1.
