Mastodons Blank Southern Indiana in 1-0 Win
8/27/2023 5:40:00 PM | Women's Soccer
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A goal by Rylee Vruggink in the 47th minute stood the rest of the second half for the Purdue Fort Wayne women's soccer team to earn a 1-0 shutout over Southern Indiana on Sunday (Aug. 27) afternoon.
Bella Reitano led Vruggink with a good pass in the box and the senior delivered the finish into the lower left corner of the goal. Vruggink was all by herself by the post to knock it in after the Southern Indiana keeper leaped to deflect Reitano's cross but failed to do so. It was one of three shots on goal for Vruggink in the match.
The win is Jason Burr's 37th victory as head coach for the 'Dons. He now owns the most wins in program history for a head coach. Burr was named Horizon League Coach of the Year following the 2022 season.
Samantha Castaneda picked up five saves to earn the shutout for the 'Dons. Shots were even with each team taking 10. The Mastodons had six shots on goal to the Screaming Eagles' five.
Southern Indiana is now 0-3-1. The Mastodons improve to 2-2 on the young season. It matches the team's 2-2 start from a year ago.
The 'Dons will face Eastern Illinois on Thursday (Aug. 30) at Hefner Soccer Complex.
