The Simpson women’s soccer team won 3-0 against Concordia-Chicago on Sunday, Sept. 15, at Buxton Stadium. Junior Cami Schmalz scored two goals during Sunday’s game. Junior Miki Schmidt also scored one goal for Simpson. 

“After the game our team is looking really good. I think our team has taken huge steps in the right direction and I’m super excited to see how much we’ve grown since last year,” senior captain Emma Fleddermann said. 

The women’s soccer team record is currently 4-0-2. The Simpson team has shutout five teams so far this season. Much of the credit can be given to sophomore goalkeepers Aspen Brockhouse and Rachel Neumann. 

“To go undefeated and have shutouts for all of our games up until this point is amazing. It shows a lot about our whole defense and chemistry as a team. I love where we are going and can’t wait for more,” Fleddermann said.
