The Illinois College women's soccer team began their season with a 1-0 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan on Sunday at England Stadium in Jacksonville, Illinois.

The match's only goal was scored early by Haley Sommer, who found the back of the net just 5:20 into the contest. The Lady Blues maintained strong defense throughout the game, with sophomore goalkeeper Sophia Kriegesmann stopping all eight shots from the Prairie Wolves.

Freshman Holly Morehart led the offense for Illinois College with three shots. Sommer contributed two shots, while Olivia Ralston, McKenzie Murray, and Abby Love each had one shot.

The Lady Blues will next play at England Stadium on Wednesday against Augustana in a non-conference match scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
