CHICAGO - DePaul women's soccer fell to the Purdue Boilermakers 3-0 on Thursday afternoon at Wish Field at Cacciatore Stadium.

The Blue Demons (0-3-0) played a defensively heavy first half, but Purdue (3-0-0) kept up the offensive pressure, firing off five shots on goal in the first half. The scoring started rolling for the Boilermakers when Aly Mielke scored off a loose ball in front of the net in the 53rd minute. Leanna Rebimbas increased their lead to 2-0 off a ball from Sydney Duarte in the 66th minute before a free kick taken by Sydney Sparks would sail right into the top left of the net for a 3-0 insurance goal.

DePaul's four shots on goal came from Kristin Boos, Morgan Turner, Jessica Lazo and Mary Tierney. Keeper Mollie Eriksson netted two saves.
