The University of Minnesota Duluth soccer team honored its seniors on Senior Day with a 5-1 win over the University of Minnesota Crookston inside James S. Malosky Stadium in Duluth, Minn.
The Bulldogs drummed up three goals in the first half and two in the second, and all five goals came from different scorers.Â

Keira Olabode scored the first goal of her career, a ball from over 30 yards out that five-holed the Golden Eagles goalkeeper for the 1-0 lead in the 13th minute.Â
In the 38th minute, Kami Beavers buried a Nora Helvig rebound to put UMD up 2-0, and a minute later, Helvig scored a goal of her own, slotting home a through ball from Tessa Hyland.
Caitlin Sheleski made it a 4-0 game in the 70th minute with a shot that came about five yards wide of the 18-yard box – the senior's first goal of her career.
UMD's fifth and final goal came off an effort from Abby Plahn in the 74th minute, the rookie's first goal as a Bulldog.
UMC did manage to get on the board in the 85th minute to a 5-1 game.
The Bulldogs put seven shots on goal to the just three by the Golden Eagles, and had a dominate 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.
