WATERLOO, Iowa-- Sophomore Laura Wagner scored her first and second goals of the season to help the University of Northern Iowa women's soccer team drop Indiana State 3-0 for its first Missouri Valley Conference win of the season.

Both goals were their respective scorer's first as a Panther.
UNI held the 2-0 lead until Wagner put through her second goal of the game 17 minutes into the second half. The sophomore's second goal gave UNI a 3-0 lead.
Goalkeeper Heidi O'Mara (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) took over from there. The senior closed the door on her fourth shutout of the season to give UNI a 3-0 victory.
