Down 2-0 in the first 13 minutes, St. Ambrose women's soccer mounted a comeback, and Taylor DeSplinter garnered the winner to give SAU a 3-2 win over Culver-Stockton Saturday evening in Muscatine, Iowa.

The visitors struck early, scoring in the first minute for a 1-0 lead. Kaitlyn Brunson and Mary Evans had two shots each after the Culver-Stockton goal, but all missed the mark. The Wildcats scored again in the 13th minute to take a 2-0 lead early on, but SAU responded three minutes later when Adriane Latham found Kendall Wendt for a goal. The Bees tied it up at 2-2 in the 23rd minute off a score from Lauren Bendall, and the teams would head into halftime even.

St. Ambrose came out of the break firing, with Brunson, Evans, and McKenna Shilevinatz recording shots early on in the second half. Rachel Willette kept the game tied after making a save in the 64th minute and another in the 68th. DeSplinter would net the game-winner in the 79th minute off a feed from Latham, and the Bees would close it out from there for a 3-2 victory.

Willette finished with two saves in the win. Brunson had four shots, Evans recorded three, and Bendall, Shilevinatz, and Wendt had two.

SAU will travel to Indiana South Bend on Saturday, September 16th to begin conference play. Game time is scheduled for 11 a.m.
