The Culver-Stockton women's soccer team suffered a 4-0 defeat to MidAmerica Nazarene University Saturday afternoon at Ellison Poulton Stadium.

MNU opened the scoring in the 11^th minute with a cross from Cali Schechinger to Sarah Assumma who re-directed the pass into an empty net for a 1-0 lead.

C-SC had an opportunity to get the equalizer in the 26^th minute when Savannah Stauffer sent a re-start to the middle of the penalty area. Halle Jennex got a shot off and it appeared it was head for the goal; however, the Pioneer defense was able to save tipoff the line in the nick of time to keep the deficit at 1-0.

The Pioneers added their second goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and then added two more goals to pull away and record the victory.
