St. Catharine, KY – The Cincinnati State women's soccer team opened the 2013 season with a 5-0 road win over St. Catharine College on Saturday night.
 
After a scoreless first half, the Lady Surge attack put up five goals in the final 30 minutes.

Freshman Deandre Criddell scored an unassisted goal in the 70th. Galbraith scored a goal of her own in the 77th minute and Jacqueline Cain scored the fifth and final goal of the night in the 83rd.

"We started off the season right," Head Coach Wil Cagle said. "We suffered a few bumps and bruises in tonight's game but hopefully we can benefit from a break until our next game on September 7th."
