BILLINGS, Mont. – The stage was set, and the Mountaineers delivered.

On Friday afternoon, the Eastern Oregon University women's soccer team handed (RV) Rocky Mountain College its fourth defeat of the season, as the Navy and Gold confined the Battlin' Bears to just three shots to seal the victory in the NAIA Match of the Week.  

"I'm really proud of how the girls battled against a very good Rocky Mountain College team on the road," said head women's soccer coach Justin Wagar. "It was a team effort and was fun to watch. We've got another tough road matchup at College of Idaho on Sunday."

Key Performances
Both senior forward Crystal Schuder and freshman forward Zoe Anderson notched goals for EOU, while junior keeper Jessica Parker collected her sixth shutout of the season – tying the single-season record at EOU. 

The Storyline
After Parker snatched a shot by the Battlin' Bears in the 13th minute, Schuder countered two minutes later with a goal to put EOU on the board, as sophomore midfielder Makensie Forsyth floated a great ball ahead to Schuder who fired it through the left side of the net.

Rocky Mountain was issued a red card in the 73rd minute after its last defender took down Anderson from behind. Moments later, Anderson converted on the penalty kick goal to put the Mountaineers on top by two.

Playing down for the remainder of the contest, Rocky Mountain (7-4-2, 5-2-1 CCC) only got one more chance in the final 15 minutes of action, and Parker was there to scoop up the save.
