SPRINGFIELD, Mo.– The Drury Panthers struck for three second-half goals to improve to 4-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with a 3-1 win over Southwest Baptist on Sunday at Harrison Stadium.
 
Drury went to 6-1 overall and is in the GLVC's only unbeaten team through four games. The Bearcats dropped to 1-4-1 and 1-3 in the league.
 
Southwest Baptist struck first and had the game's only goal in the opening half as Raegan Edwards fired a shot just under the crossbar to give the Bearcats a 1-0 lead in the game's 18^th minute.
 
SBU's lead held until the 58^th minute when Elsa Gonzalez tied the score with a goal on an assist from Chloe Cash. Gonzalez then put her team in front in the 77^th minute on an unassisted goal, and Drury put the game out of reach on Chloe Cash's second goal of the year in the 83^rd minute.
 
Gonzalez, a sophomore from Spain, picked up the first multi-goal game of her career and has three goals on the season.
 
With the win, Drury matches their best start through seven games since 2007 when the Panthers opened 6-1 and ended the year 17-5-3. That team advanced to the third round of the NCAA-II tournament that season.
 
Drury returns to action on Friday morning when they host Maryville at 10 am in Harrison Stadium.
