ORANGE CITY, Iowa -- After jumping ahead early the Bellevue University women's soccer team scored a second half go-ahead goal as they defeated Northwestern College, 2-1, on Saturday evening in the second game of the Pizza Ranch Classic.

The lead remained 1-0 into halftime where BU held a 9-3 edge in shots.
Out of the break, Jennifer Inge pulled Northwestern level at a goal apiece with her 49th minute tally off a pass from Jahdai Dunk.
For the third time in two days Maiwut Dar found the back of the net for BU. The Midland transfer knocked in a 61st minute goal to reclaim the Bruins' lead.
Laurence Rodier stopped seven of the eight shots she faced in goal for Bellevue. Northwestern's Madison Fordyce made nine saves.
