Granville, Ohio- The Denison women's soccer team extends its win streak to three after defeating Capital University 3-2 at home. The Big Red improved to 5-2-2 overall, while the Comets dropped to 5-3-1 for the season.

It took just under three minutes for Denison to jump to an early 1-0 lead over Capital. Sophomore Megan Mulvey managed to get an inside step on her defender just outside of the goalie box and shot a rocket into the top right corner of the Comet's goal.

Capital would tie the match at one apiece in the 34th minute of play; however, Denison regained the lead four minutes later when Della Hawkins found Emily Stackhouse to put the Big Red up 2-1 just before the half.

In the second half, Denison continued to find offensive success, with the Big Red's final goal of the afternoon, knocked in by Hawkins, adding to her stat line for the day. 

Despite the Comets cutting Denison's lead to one with over 15 minutes left in the game, the Big Red kept a late offensive surge at bay, coming out on top 3-2.

Denison outshot Capital 15 to 10, and the two teams finished the day with four corners apiece, with three of the Comet's four earned in the second half. Molly Noga and Caroline Hague split time in goal, with Hague tallying three saves on the day. Capital's Liv Alford recorded six saves.
