TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (9/13/2019) -- The Titans scored just a minute into the contest and never looked back as the University of Detroit Mercy women's soccer team went on the road and defeated Indiana State, 3-1, on Friday night.

Detroit Mercy (2-3-1) scored on a corner kick just 1:08 into the game as junior Julie Ann Piechocki was able to bend one in over the goalie for an early lead. The Titans then had first-half strikes as freshman Sofia Bellaire and sophomore Emily Lorkowski each scored their first collegiate goals as the red, white and blue took a 3-0 advantage at the break.

Freshman goalie Cassidy Joslin made a season-high 10 saves to register her second win of the season and sophomore Hailey Wentzloff assisted on a pair of the Titan markers.

Detroit Mercy will be back in action on Sunday as the Titans complete their Indiana weekend trip with a match at Purdue Fort Wayne. Game time is set for 1 p.m.
