ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Tenth-ranked Otterbein dominated host Nazareth in women's soccer action Sunday as the Cardinals got two goals and one assist from senior Lindsey Rudibaugh in a 4-0 victory over the Golden Flyers.

Combined with its 2-0 win over Colby-Sawyer on Saturday, Otterbein improved to 2-0. Nazareth dropped to 1-2 overall. The game was part of the Nazareth Tournament played at Golden Flyer Stadium. William Smith blanked Colby-Sawyer in Sunday's first game, 5-0.

Nazareth freshman Bethany Novak made her first start in goal after senior Hillary Simon was injured in the team's pre-game warm-up. She was able to keep the Cardinals off the scoreboard until the 27th minute. Following one of Otterbein's 12 first-half corner kicks, the ball was cleared to the top of the box, where Rudibaugh blasted a 20-yard shot into the left corner for a 1-0 lead.

Rudibaugh scored again early in the second half. A Nazareth foul set up a free kick outside the left corner of the box and Rudibaugh drilled a high shot over the outstretched hands of Novak for the second goal.

Rudibaugh then assisted on Otterbein's third goal as she crossed a pass from the right wing and Abby Misch converted to make it 3-0. The fourth goal came in the 74th minute as Jenny Knox headed in a corner kick from Cristen Herold.

Nazareth's chances were few and far between. Freshman Sarah Cipperly had a pair of first-half shots that were easily handled by Cardinals' keeper Tara Carter. Freshman Olivia Derleth had a long-distance shot in the second half.

Carter had three saves and Novak eight for Nazareth.

The Golden Flyers are off until next Saturday when they host Brockport in a non-conference game at 1 p.m. The game will be the second annual "Golden Challenge" (Goden Flyers vs. Golden Eagles). Nazareth will wear pink jerseys and Brockport will wear black jerseys with pink numbers to raise awareness and money for cancer research. Money raised through admission, t-shirt sales and concessions, will be donated to the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center.
