SIOUX CITY, IOWA – Morningside celebrated senior day as it faced Mount Marty in the final Great Plains Athletic Conference men's and women's double header. Celebrate the Mustang women did, launching fireworks to the tune of seven goals while blanking the Lancers for a 7-0 final score.

Morningside's game winner and first goal came off the foot of Emily Rotthaler, with assists from Brooke Brabban and Maddie Moore. 

Mackenzie Hunzeker hit another goal in the 30th minute, taking a rebound off of a corner kick and getting the Mustangs some insurance as the game progressed.

Morningside took advantage of the stoppage and subbed a second flight of players who proceeded to open the taps and put in three more goals before halftime. Keyera Harmon, Mia Stoffel, and Julie Raffel each found opportunities to send the net of the goal fluttering as they scored.

In the second half Lucia Kuize found the net to give the Mustangs a 6-0 advantage off of a Victoria Stausholm pass and Stoffel got a pass from Roselynn Bosman to cap the scoring late in the game.

The Mustangs are back on the pitch on Oct. 26 for a women's contest against College of Saint Mary before concluding the regular season at Dakota Wesleyan on Oct. 29.
