CLEVELAND - Sophomore Keilah Muldrow had a goal and two assists and Emma Frey and Anika Guenther added scores as the IU Indianapolis women's soccer team went on the road and thumped Cleveland State, 3-0, on Sunday (Sept. 28). The Jaguars collected their first win in Horizon League play and knocked off a previously unbeaten CSU squad in the process. 

The Jaguars (2-8-1, 1-2 HL) were dominant throughout, earning a 13-5 shot advantage and limiting the Vikings (3-4-4, 0-1-3 HL) to just three shots on goal. Sarah Bambrick earned the win in goal with three saves in 65 minutes before senior Arissa North completed the shutout with 25 clean minutes. 

"I'm so happy for these players. They've worked so hard. We've had some tough defeats this year, but they've never given up. They keep fighting, keep grinding. We fought through the injuries and this was a great, hard earned road league victory," head coach Angela Berry White said. "Since day one, our goal is to get better with each practice and each match and that remains. We had three different goal scorers today. Keilah Muldrow brought the energy and was a game changer coming off the bench. 

It was great to see our goalkeepers and our defense get the clean sheet. Our midfield controlled the tempo of the game and helped us dominate possession."

Offensively, Frey broke the ice in the 31st minute, thanks to service from Muldrow. Freshman JoJo Murphy sent the speedy Muldrow free up the left side and Muldrow outran her defender, allowing her space to center a pass. She delivered a strike to Frey, who redirected a shot past the CSU keeper for her first tally of the season. 

Just before halftime, CSU all but gift wrapped a second goal as Muldrow's cross from the left side bounded off Viking goalkeeper Hayleigh Lewis. Guenther, making her first appearance in just over a month, was in the right spot and tapped home the rebound with her left foot for her first collegiate score. Between the two scores, the Jags just missed adding another when junior Lindsey Castillo rang a shot off the crossbar in the 35th minute. 

IU Indy continued to control the match throughout the second half before tacking on some late insurance. This time, Guenther set Muldrow free and the sophomore completed a four-point game with a delivery into the center of the net.

Muldrow had just four career points in 20 collegiate appearances before Sunday's heroics. 

"Getting all three points on the road was huge for us. We've been in a real slump lately," Muldrow said. "So this really shows the fight and determination we had as a team and gives us a lot of confidence moving forward."

Junior Caroline Kelley finished with a game-high three shots and Frey and Guenther added two apiece. The victory was just the Jags' second ever in Cleveland first since 2004 as IU Indy improved to 9-5-2 all-time against the Vikings. 

The Jaguars will continue Horizon League play on Saturday, Oct. 4 when they face Detroit Mercy at 2:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
