Romeoville, Ill. - A first-half goal by Lewis University freshman forward Cali Havelka-Vanderplow (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale South) was all the Flyers needed as the women's soccer team earned the 1-0 victory over Missouri S&T in the Great Lakes Valley Conference home opener. 

Havelka-Vanderplow gathered a rebound off of a shot by Flyer sophomore forward Payton Emond (Cary, Ill./Cary-Grove) and put it past Miners keeper Liz Carrano (4 saves) at the 13:17 mark. Lewis senior midfielder Mackenzie Fuller (Aurora, Ill./Waubonsie Valley) also assisted on the play. 

With the win, Lewis improves to 2-3 overall and 1-2 in GLVC action, while the Miners fall to 0-5 on the campaign and 0-3 in conference play. 

Lewis goalkeeper Jennifer Meyer (Homer Glen, Ill./Lockport) did not face a shot to earn her first shutout of the season. 

Lewis outshot Missouri S&T, 9-4, including a 5-0 advantage in shots on goal. 

Lewis returns to action on Sunday (Sept. 17), as the Flyers welcome Maryville to Lewis Stadium for a 12 PM kickoff.
