Benedictine Women's Soccer pushed No. 14-ranked Central Methodist for 90 minutes on Wednesday night on Legacy Field.

After playing to a scoreless draw at the half, the teams traded second-half goals that saw CMU hold off a late push by Benedictine to earn a 2-1 win.

CMU struck first during the 61st minute and it took Benedictine just over five minutes to hit the equalizer. Ella Braunger scored for the Ravens during the 66th minute. Lizzy Gresch connected a cross to Braunger after the Ravens played in the ball off a corner.

The game remained tied until the Heart's top scorer, Mariana Barreto. Barreto was able to turn and push a shot through the defense and past Raven keeper Madison Smith to push the Eagles ahead during the 77th minute.

The Ravens finished the game with 3 shots on goal while the Eagles finished with 8. Smith finished with a total of 6 saves over 90 minutes, which included four in the second half.

Benedictine hits the road on Saturday, traveling to Canton, Mo., for a 5 p.m. match with Culver-Stockton College.
