FENTON, Mo. - Webster University used three second half goals here Wednesday evening to post a 4-1 victory over Monmouth (Ill.) College in non-conference women's soccer match-up at World Wide Technology Park.

With the win, Webster improves to 5-0-0 on the season and has now won 14 consecutive regular season matches since suffering a 4-0 loss at WashU on Sept. 26, 2017. In addition, it marks the second consecutive season that the Gorloks have opened the year undefeated through its first five matches.

After taking 13 shots and scoring just one goal, which came in the seventh minute from junior midfielder Payton Williams (St. Louis, Mo./Fort Zumwalt East), the Gorloks took nine shots after halftime and three of those nine shots found the net to seal the win. 

Junior midfielder Savannah Page (Sandy, Utah/Sandy) was credited with the game winning goal as she scored an unassisted goal on a shot from 19 yards out late in the 51st minute to give the Gorloks a 2-1 lead in the match. The goal by was her first of the season and third of her collegiate career. 

Page's goal came about three minutes after Monmouth's Kara-Jade Gordon took a pass from Katlyn Selvig and found the net on a chip shot from 10 yards out to tie the match at 1-all just a little over three minutes into the second half.

In the 55th minute, junior forward Melissa Kasper (Oswego, Ill./Oswego) tallied her third goal of the season as she took a cross from junior Olivia Osterhage (Eureka, Mo./Eureka) and found the net from about three yards out to give WU a 3-1 lead. 

Senior forward Nicole Bascio (Wentzville, Mo./Timberland) took a pass from Kasper in the middle of the box in the 59th minute and scored from eight yards out to give the Gorloks a 4-1 advantage. The goal by Bascio was her third of the season and first since she tallied two goals in the season opener against Concordia-Chicago on Aug. 31.
