WALNUT RIDGE – Looking to bounce back from their first American Midwest Conference loss of the season, Central Baptist College women’s soccer was at WBU Soccer Field this afternoon for a match with the Eagles of Williams Baptist. CBC (5-8-3, 3-1-2 AMC) scored four times in the first half and cruised to a 5-1 win over WBU (0-13-1, 0-6-1 AMC).

Vilonia native Bayleigh Williams had a pair of assists.

Vitoria Loiola had a brace while the Mustangs also received goals from Annesta Richards, Lexie Sengmanivong and Sierra Victory, for the latter two it was the first goal of their career. Bayleigh Williams also had a pair of assists and Bailey Walerczyk picked up her fifth win of the season in net.

GAME FLOW

Loiola opened the scoring in the 12th minute when she received a pass from Williams and slotted it past the keeper to give CBC the lead. The Mustangs extended the lead in the 39th minute on a free kick by Richards to make it 2-0 and less than two minutes later, Loiola’s second made it 3-0. Sengmanivong’s goal came just before halftime and put the Mustangs up comfortably 4-0 at halftime.
