The Iowa Central women's soccer team gained some momentum here Tuesday afternoon at Rogers Sports Complex.
Behind goals from four different players, the Tritons knocked off No. 14 Northeast, 4-0.
Iowa Central (6-5 overall) now sets its sights on the Region XI Div. I Tournament where they will face Indian Hills (9-1-1) on Sunday in Ottumwa beginning at 1 p.m. The other semifinal pits Iowa Western vs. Iowa Lakes, with the championship match set for next Wednesday.
Flavie Sallaz got the scoring going with a goal in the first half off an assist by Anna Pons. Julia Herbst followed with a goal from an Annabelle Friege assist to make it 2-0 with Elicia Mulvaney getting on the board before half.
In the second half, Abigail Dalebout provided another insurance goal as Jasmine Kurufher had a clean sheet in net for the Tritons.
"It was a really good way to go out and get that momentum against a very good team," Iowa Central head coach Jared Beauchamp said. "Now, hopefully, we can carry that over to the semifinals."
Herbst now has 39 career goals, including 14 this season.
