NEW ULM — New Ulm got a pair of goals in the first half and used that momentum to pick up its first win of the season, defeating Marshall 5-0 in Big South Conference girls’ soccer action at New Ulm High School.

Livia Reinarts and Madison Miller each scored two goals to lead the Eagles offensively. Annika Morschauser scored a late goal for New Ulm and Ariana Dreyer and Elizabeth Dake shared the goalkeeping duties.

Reinarts got the Eagles on the board with 7:29 left in the first half after she scored to make it 1-0. New Ulm had a couple of chances after that, but it scored again with 30 seconds left in the half when Reinarts scored her second goal of the game.

With a 2-0 lead in the second half, Miller added to it when she scored a pair of goals in the second half to make it 4-0. Morschauser added a late goal for the final 5-0 margin.
