Central Methodist University freshman Lindie Adair (Boonville, Mo.) scored a pair of goals as the CMU women's soccer team held on for a 2-1 upset win over NAIA No. 12 Baker University in Heart of America Athletic Conference action Sunday afternoon.

Adair headed in a ball off a free kick from junior Kayla Leeser (St. Peters, Mo.) in the ninth minute to give Central Methodist an early 1-0 lead. Central Methodist appeared to take a 2-0 lead later in the first half when junior Shawn Beard (Moberly, Mo.) found the back of the net on an indirect kick, but the goal was waved off since only one person had touched it.

The score remained 1-0 in favor of CMU until the 48th minute when Adair scored off assists by Leeser and freshman Kelsey Vanzant (Troy, Mo.). Central Methodist had another goal called back midway through the second half on an offsides call against the Lady Eagles. In the 64th minute, Baker cut the lead to 2-1, but the CMU defense held off the Baker attack to hang on for the 2-1 win.

Sophomore Brittany Andert (St. Peters, Mo.) played all 90 minutes in goal for CMU, recording six saves. Baker out-shot CMU 20-12, including 12-5 in the second half.

Central Methodist improved to 10-0-1 on the season and 1-0 in HAAC play. The Lady Eagles are now one win away from tying the all-time wins record in CMU women's soccer history. Baker dropped to 6-2 on the season and 0-1 in the HAAC. Central Methodist will be back in action Saturday in a 6 p.m. contest against Avila University at Davis Field.
