THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Women's Soccer team (11-3-2, 9-1-2 Heartland Conference) sent its seniors off in style, shutting out Oklahoma Christian (2-13, 1-11) 6-0 Saturday.

Kaci Parks opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a shot across the box from 12 yards out. Brittany Eccles notched her second two-goal game of the year with tallies in the 31st and 46th minutes. Parks and Delaney Schmidt assist Eccles' first goal, and Katelyn Havard assisted her second.

Twenty-two seconds after Eccles' second goal, Lindsey Washburn scored from roughly 40 yards out on a free kick that snuck between the crossbar and Addison Milner's outstretched fingers. Megan Mahoney took advantage of a wide-open net in the 68th minute for her first goal of the year. Havard put the cherry on top with an 83rd-minute goal assisted by Kensley Martin.
