Saint Louis, Mo.- The Kent State field hockey team hit season bests in offense and defense Sunday in a 5-0 win over Saint Louis. The Flashes tied their season-best five goals while earning their second shutout of the season.

It didn't take long for the Flashes' offense to start attacking as Helena Cambra Soler scored her first goal of the season within two minutes of the game. Cambra Soler's goal came from a deflection off a corner with the assist from Laila Richter.

Despite Kent State's fast start, the Flashes wouldn't score again until the third period. At the 44^th minute, Kortney Keller scored her first goal of the season and the second of her career, sending one over the goalie. Her shot was assisted by Clara Rodriguez Seto.

Things picked up offensively for the Flashes as they scored their final three goals in the fourth period that put the game out of reach. Sydney Carr set up a Claudia Ortiz goal with ten minutes remaining in the final period.

Four minutes later, Rodriguez Seto scored her fifth goal of the season off a corner assisted by Maria Cambra Soler. In the 57^th minute, Richter assisted her second goal of the day to Sydney Washburn for her first collegiate goal. Kent State would secure the 5-0 shutout victory.

Azure Fernsler (4-3) had two saves on the day. Keller and Rodriguez Seto paced the Flashes with four shots each and a goal.
