CHICAGO Molly Borchardt put DePaul ahead in the 10th minute, but Elise Reid scored a goal and added an assist to lift Iowa State past DePaul, 3-1, on Friday at Wish Field. Reid assisted the game-winner and tallied the insurance goal with less than 10 minutes to play. The Blue Demons host Western Illinois on Sunday before visiting Miami (Ohio) and Northwestern next weekend.
DePaul (0-5-0) took the lead in the first half when Borchardt headed a ball into the net at 9:47 for the first goal of the game. The goal came directly off a corner kick from Morgan Celaya who earned her first assist of the season. The Blue Demons held a 9-4 advantage on corner kicks for the game and outshot the Cyclones by a 11-9 margin.
Laura Wooster tied the game for Iowa State (1-2-0) in the 43rd minute. Wooster beat DePaul goalkeeper Brittni Lally on the left side of the penalty box and placed a right-footer in the net to even the match right before the end of the half.
In the second half, the Cyclones nearly took the lead with a shot by Lauren Odino at 65:17, but goalkeeper Kelsey Hoinkes prevented it with a save which pushed the ball out of bounds. Shortly after, Reid took a corner kick and Lauren Fader connected on the rebound to add the eventual game-winner and put Iowa State ahead, 2-1, at 65:42.
Reid later scored on a one-timer from Amanda Nimtz to add the insurance goal in the 82nd minute.
Freshman Arianna Foster led DePaul with three shots in the match. Goalkeepers Lally and Kelsey Hoinkes split time in the net with three saves a piece. Lally played in the first half while Hoinkes was in the net for the second period.
The Blue Demons host Western Illinois on Sunday in a 1 p.m. contest. DePaul then travels to Miami (Ohio) and Northwestern the following Friday and Sunday.
Game Notes: DePaul has led by a 1-0 score in three of the five games this season... Molly Borchardt's goal was the second of her career and first since the 2005 season... nine of the 11 Blue Demon starters were freshmen or sophomores... the series is now tied 2-2-0 between the two programs.
