In the fourth minute, senior Madison Dunker, playing in possibly her final home game, launched a free kick from about 40 yards out. On the other end, midfielder Carrie Madden quickly ran past her marker and headed it into the left corner of the net.
“Dunker served the ball in long,” Madden said. “I was just able to beat my defender and get a head on it.”
But that was just the beginning for Madden and the Golden Eagles Sunday as they routed Creighton 3-0 behind Madden’s second brace in her last five matches.
“That first goal, that set a great tone for us,” head coach Markus Roeders said.
