BRENHAM, Texas — On Sunday afternoon at Rankin Field, second-half goals from freshman forward Kaley Kasper helped lead Blinn College women's soccer (3-4, 2-3) past Paris Junior College, 2-0. 

"It was a great bounce-back victory and we created a lot of chances which was nice to see," said Michael McBride, Blinn head coach. "We played with a lot of intensity in a positive environment, so I am thrilled."

Kasper led the Buccaneers with 12 shots and two goals, while Illora Molina and Carla Garcia each recorded an assist. Bethany Sorenson recorded four shots and three shots on goal.

On defense, Hope Hillhouse led Blinn to a shutout with three saves.
