BLUFFTON -- The Heidelberg University Women's Soccer team moved to 4-1-1 on the season after pulling away late in a 3-0 win at Bluffton University on Tuesday. Ella Jacobs, who came into preseason camp as a goalie, scored the final two goals for the Student Princes.

In the 38th minute of a scoreless game, Syd Hewer sailed a beautiful cross into the box from the right corner. Though it was just out of reach of a leaping Brianna Braatz, Mallory Zavatchen collected the loose ball, took a touch, then struck it well with her right foot.  

Though Heidelberg had the better of play through the entire game, the Beavers remained close and knocked on the door several times. 

Thirsty for an insurance goal, Jacobs struck gold in the 68th minute. Collecting a Bluffton turnover in the midfield forced by Yaniah Powell, Jacobs dribbled into space and hit a low line drive shot from more than 20 yards out that snuck inside the left post. 

On a counterattack in the 80th minute, Zavatchen deftly played a pass back to Jacobs, trailing the rush. All alone, Jacobs rifled a shot into the net.  

Brigid Enright picked up the clean sheet -- her third of the season -- making five saves. In front of her, the fullbacks continued to control traffic, making it a difficult evening for the Beavers.   

The Student Princes return home to Hidden Valley on Sept. 21st., where they will welcome Geneva College. Saturday's game is Senior Day for the 'Berg. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.
