CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast soccer (6-7-3, 3-3-3) netted a season-high four goals in a 4-1 victory over SIUE (6-8-2, 4-4-1) Sunday afternoon at Houck Field.

In the final minute of the first half, Southeast allowed an own goal after a deflection off a SEMO defender to put SIUE on top, 1-0, going into halftime.

Southeast led in the shots column at halftime, 9-5. Four of SEMO's shots were put on the mark as three of SIUE's went on goal. Gonzales and Beussink each took a pair of shots in the opening 45. The two teams combined for seven corner kicks with the Redhawks taking three.

Gonzales scored the equalizer in the 53^rd minute when she netted an unassisted goal from the edge of the box.

For the second game in a row, Gonzales recorded a multi-goal performance. In the 75^th minute, the sophomore's shot ricocheted off the far post and into the back of the net to put SEMO on top 2-1. The goal is her third game-winner of the season. Beussink assisted on the game-winner.

The lead was extended in the 83^rd minute when Jennifer Brien dribbled down past Schoch, passed right to Compernolle who scored her first career Redhawk goal.

Less than a minute later, Kaempfe made it 4-1 with her second goal of the season, assisted by Lexi Grote.
