OSKALOOSA, Iowa – The No. 9 Central Methodist University women's soccer team secured a dominating victory on the road against William Penn University on Saturday evening. One of the most notable feats came by way of a hat trick from not one, but two, Eagles.

As a team, Central outshot the Statesmen 35-7 while the swarming defense allowed William Penn just two tries on frame. Sheila Sanchez (FR/Castellon, Spain) collected both attempts for two saves, earning the win in the box. The Eagles move to 12-0 on the season (5-0 Heart) while the Statesmen fall to 4-7 overall (0-5 Heart).
