Box Score

FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State soccer scored three first-half goals and delivered a dominant performance in a 3-0 victory over North Dakota on Saturday night at Dacotah Field, closing out the home schedule with a shutout win on Senior Night.

Morgan Russmann scored a brace, while Ambry Plate added her first career goal, as the Bison (5-6-6, 3-3-2 Summit League) controlled the match from the opening minutes to secure the victory.

NDSU wasted little time getting on the scoreboard, as Russmann found the back of the net in the fifth minute. Seniors Gabrielle Garrett and Sidney Armstrong assisted on the opening goal with Armstrong feeding the final pass to Russmann to give the Bison an early advantage.

Russmann struck again in the 32nd minute, taking a throw in from Amber Smith and working into some space before firing a strike into the far corner to double the lead. The goal marked Russmann's fifth career brace and first of the season.

The Bison continued to apply pressure and added a third goal just before halftime. In the 42nd minute, Plate scored her first career goal off of an assist from Isabel Garcia.

North Dakota State's offensive production was backed by a strong defensive effort. The Bison outshot the Fighting Hawks 22-11, including a 12-4 advantage in the first half, and put 10 shots on target.

Senior goalkeeper Payton Mulberry made six saves to help preserve the shutout. Mulberry secured her 13^th career shutout, moving into the top five all-time at NDSU for cleansheets.

North Dakota State will close out the regular season on the road, beginning with a matchup against South Dakota on Thursday, Oct. 29. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. in Vermillion, South Dakota.
