PUEBLO, Colo. - Goals less than four minutes apart by Jennifer Kendall and Acacia Ortiz set the stage for a 2-1 win by #7 Colorado School of Mines at CSU-Pueblo on Friday.

The Orediggers (6-1-1, 3-0-0 RMAC) stayed undefeated in league play as Shannon Mooney matched a career high with six saves to stop a game Thunderwolves (3-3-1, 0-3-0 RMAC) side.

After a scoreless first half, the Orediggers got on the board in the 57th minute when a foul in the box gave them their first penalty kick chance of the season. Kendall buried the spot kick for her team-leading fourth goal of the season, and Ortiz scored from open play less than four minutes later to stun CSUP and put Mines up 2-0.

Karley Whiteman cut the deficit in half for the hosts with a curling free kick from the top of the box at 64:10, but the Mines defense clamped down and did not allow the equalizer despite six second-half shots by the Thunderwolves and playing the final 10 minutes a woman down after Peyton Sanders was shown a second yellow card. 

NOTABLES
- Mooney's six saves matched her career high set against Regis last season.
