Two shutouts were exactly what the Central soccer programs were looking for when they began their Iowa Conference schedule this past Saturday in Storm Lake against Buena Vista. The men were victorious, 3 – 0; Salvador Villanueva had the first two tallies for the Dutch, and Logan Hoefer put in the third. Josh Carpenter and Austin Little combined for the shutout in goal for Central’s men, who improve to 4 – 6 overall. The Dutch women had a narrower margin of victory, but still prevailed, 2 – 0. Annie Weaver and Olivia Denham scored for Central, with Weaver’s goal being the first of her four-year career in the red-and-white. Sydney Lunardi completed the blanking of the Beavers with a three-save effort. Central’s women are now 6 – 3 on the season, and both teams start 1 – 0 in the league. They’ll resume conference play on Saturday when they come home to face Loras.
