PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Junior forward Jamie Craft scored a pair of goals, as the University of Louisville women's soccer team improved to 3-1-0 in the BIG EAST with a 3-0 blanking of Providence on the road Friday evening.

U of L (8-3-0, 3-1-0 BIG EAST) got on the board in the 35th minute when Jen Avila found Craft, who beat a defender to go 1 v 1 against the Friars keeper Ashley Fedyshyn, beating her for Craft's 5th goal of the season.
The Cardinal dominated the first half of play, outshooting the Friars (3-6-1, 0-3-1 BIG EAST) 7-1 in the first 45 minutes.
Just a minute and 59 seconds into the second half, Louisville added to the lead when sophomore Monique Gjini beat a Providence defender and ripped a laser into the upper left corner from 12 yards out for a 2-0 advantage.
Craft sealed the win, when she gathered her own rebound and buried it into the back of the net for her second goal of the game and sixth of the season at 78:30.
Freshman keeper Deana Waintraub made four saves, including three in the second half for her sixth shutout of the season. The Friars continued to pressure the Cards, outshooting them 9-8 in the second half.
