LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Freshman Caroline Kelley scored a pair of goals and classmate Shannon Ott also tallied as the Jaguars improved to 3-0 to start the year with a 3-0 road win at Bellarmine on Thursday night (Aug. 24). Kelley and Ott scored just more than four minutes apart midway through the opening half to build a quick 2-0 lead. Kelley added a late insurance goal to cap the scoring in the 88th minute. 

IUPUI outshot the hosts 14-11, putting nine of their attempts on frame in an emphatic win. 

"I think today's win was a great team effort," Kelley said. "Everybody worked hard for each other despite the heat and that allowed us to have a lot of success tonight. We knew what we needed to do and we were able to go out and get the job done, so I am very proud of my teammates and excited for the rest of the season."

Kelley opened the scoring in the 17th minute, getting free at point blank range after an IUPUI restart. Leah Shumate delivered the service to Hannah Roberson, who had her shot blocked from the right side. However, the rebound came to Kelley, who beat teammate Emma Antoine to the ball for an easy score. 

In the 21st minute, Antoine beat a defender inside the box and slotted a pass to a sliding Ott, who redirected a shot past Cambria Kingman for the game's second goal. IUPUI just missed some other scoring chances, including a great attempt that Cassie Rodriguez pushed just wide of target in the 34th minute. 

Kelley capped the scoring in the 88th minute when Bellarmine was unable to clear a ball inside the six-yard box and the rookie blasted a shot home amongst a confused defensive third. 

Ashton Kudlo recorded a pair of saves, both late in the contest, in nearly 82 minutes of work in goal. Sophomore Cailynn Junk came on in relief and registered a save in her eight minutes of action. 

IUPUI will return home to host SIUE on Sunday (Aug. 27) at 1:00 p.m. at the on-campus Michael A. Carroll Stadium. Sunday's game will be FREE of charge.
