LAKELAND, Fla. (September 26, 2018) – The Webber International University women's soccer team let up five goals in the first 20 minutes of the contest as No. 4 Southeastern University never looked back. The Warriors fell to the Fire 7-0 on Wednesday in Lakeland, Florida.

After three saves by freshman Summer Simpson in the first three minutes of the contest, the Warriors fired a shot attempt at the 5:24 mark by freshman Mattea Ntacyo, but it was saved as well.

Then, in a less than eight-minute span from the 11:56 mark until the 19:16 mark, the Fire exploded to put the ball in the back of the net five times, including four times by Uchenna Kanu.

With its second straight loss, Webber fell to 3-5 overall and 1-2 in Sun Conference play while Southeaster's record rose to 9-1 and 2-0. It was the 29th consecutive home win for Southeastern while for Webber, it was the team's second straight defeat to a fellow NAIA school after starting off the season 3-0 against NAIA institutions.
