The Brock Badgers women's soccer team captured a hard-fought road victory to kick off the new season.
 
Veteran Jenna Parris inspired the result with a goal and an assist, giving the Badgers a 2-0 victory at Warrior Field in Waterloo, Ont. on Sunday, Aug. 30.

Parris turned provider for Brock's second goal of the day, finding forward Kate Halley just before halftime, giving Brock a commanding lead heading into the intermission.
 
The defensive front remained strong throughout the second 45 minutes of play, with goalkeeper Maddy Heeley stopping all seven shots that came her way, to claim her first clean sheet of the season.

Up next, the Badgers look to continue their early season momentum, as they welcome the Windsor Lancers for their home opener on Sunday, Sept. 6 at 4 p.m. Tickets for the game can be purchased on University Tickets. The game can also be seen on OUA.tv.
