The Webster University women's soccer team won its fifth straight to start the 2017 season, defeating Cornell College, 4-1, on September 15 at Mount Vernon, IA.  The 5-0 start is the best for the Gorloks since the 2013 season.  Webster dominated first half play and coasted to the victory.

Joi Wilson (FR, Tracy, CA/Tracy) opened the scoring for Webster at the 7:34 mark, with Chelsea Noser assisting.  It was her team-leading fourth goal on the season.  Brianna Pagan (SR, St. Louis, MO/Washington) made it 2-0 at 17:10.  The tally was the first for Pagan in 2017 as Webster entered the locker room up at the half.

Noser (SR, Collinsville, IL/Collinsville) scored 30 seconds into the second half, at 45:30, to give the Gorloks a 3-0 cushion.  Melissa Kasper (SO, Chicago, IL/Oswego) assisted.  It was Noser's second goal of the year.  The goal was Noser's 20th of her career and moved her alone into 17th place on Webster's all-time list.

Cornell got on the board at 58:25, breaking the Gorloks' shutout bid.  Kaleigh Finney (FR, Concord, CA/Northgate) completed the Webster scoring at 84:27, with Nicole Bascio (JR, St. Louis, MO/Timberland) getting the assist.  The goal was the first of Finney's collegiate career.
