THE RUNDOWN
The DBU Women's Soccer team (7-2 -1, 5-1-1 Heartland Conference) shut out St. Mary's (6-4-1, 3-3-1) by a score of 4-0 Saturday.

Kaci Parks started the scoring less than two minutes into the contest with her second goal in as many games. Abigail Olmos assisted on Parks' goal. Emma Durain scored on a free kick from 30 yards out in the 45th minute to add insurance.

Olmos picked up a goal in the 49th minute, and Katelyn Havard padded the lead in the 86th minute with an assist from Melissa Jones.

Hope Koym and Grace Johnson combined for the shutout, as the Patriot defense kept the Rattlers from putting a shot on target.
