Alvarado Scores Four in Rout of Spartans

ST. LOUIS, Mo.  (8/27/25) – The Williams Baptist University women's soccer team took a decisive victory over Missouri Baptist on Wednesday by the final score of 6-1.

Sophomore Yajaira Alvarado led the way for the Lady Eagles with her second straight multi-goal game.  Alvarado brings her season total to seven goals, which leads the NAIA.

Alvarado scored her first goal only four minutes into the contest, then followed with another score in the 23rd minute to extend WBU's lead to 2-0.

Two minutes later, Mackenzie Souers scored her first goal of the season with an assist from Valentina Marin to widen the gap again.

Missouri Baptist got a goal back in the 34th minute from Kate Jose, but WBU answered in the 40th with a goal from Valentina Marin to take a 4-1 lead into halftime.

The victory is WBU's first over Missouri Baptist in program history.  The Spartans had won the previous 14 matchups in the series since WBU established women's soccer in 2013.
