SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Samantha Arnold put on quite the show for the fans in attendance in Augustana soccer's 4-0 home-opening victory against Wayne State on Thursday. The win also doubled as the Vikings Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference opener as well.

Augustana racked up their second win in a row and improved to 2-1 (1-0 NSIC) on the season, while the Wildcats fell to 1-1-1 (0-1 NSIC) with the loss.

Less than four minutes later, The Vikings made it 2-0 after Tymkowicz and Arnold teamed up for a goal, something that seems to be a trend through three games, on a beautiful cross-and-finish play by the duo.

Augustana made it a three-goal game at the 56:31 mark on a Kirsten Smith goal. Smith took Payton Pry's pass the put it past the Wayne State keeper for her first goal this season. Pry tallied her first assist of 2014 on the play.

The Augustana defense took care of the rest, securing its first shutout of the season.
