FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Purdue Fort Wayne women's soccer held Saint Francis (Ind.) to just one shot on goal on Sunday (Aug. 20), which tied the program record in its Division I history, in a 7-0 win.

The Mastodons' seven goals tied the most in program history, tying matches against Taylor (2015) and Delaware State (2005).

The Mastodons struck early and often, scoring four goals in the first 10 minutes. Mackenzie Evans scored the first, then Morgan Reitano scored a pair in less than a minute. Zoe Greenhalge scored the fourth. Rylee Vruggink assisted on three of the first four goals.

Lauren Klusek scored her first goal of the season shortly before halftime to give the 'Dons a 5-0 lead heading into halftime.

Redshirt-senior Madde Elliott found the back of the net for first time in her career midway through the second half, then freshman Kailey Hansen did the same less than 20 minutes later.

Twenty-seven Mastodons saw the field on Sunday, with 16 of them taking at least one shot. The 'Dons totaled 29 shots with 18 on-target. Both of those numbers are top-10 marks in program history.

It was head coach Jason Burr's 36th victory, tying Terry Stefankiewicz' record for the most wins in program history. With the win, Burr passed his predecessor Margaret Saurin's 35.

Purdue Fort Wayne improves to 1-1, while Saint Francis stays at 0-1. The game was played as an exhibition for the Cougars. The 'Dons are back in action at SIUE on Friday (Aug. 25) with an 8 p.m. ET start.
