LOUISVILLE, KY - The UAB women's soccer team topped the University of Louisville 3-0 in Conference USA soccer action at Cardinal Park on Sunday.

The Blazers took a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute when Jenny Rynders took a feed from Tara Kidwell and came in on the right side sending a shot into the top far corner of the net for the early advantage.
Kidwell made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute on a feed from Briana McCarty, and Rynders closed the scoring in the 70th minute with an assist going to Jill Knottek.
