ST. PAUL, Minn. - Four different players scored second-half goals to lead Minnesota past Montana, 4-0, in a nonconference women's soccer match Sunday afternoon at Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium.

The match remained 1-0 until the 74th minute when Minnesota midfielder Clare Grimwood registered an unassisted goal, beating Harris in the bottom right corner. Three minutes later the Golden Gophers took a 3-0 advantage when forward Julie Rezac found fellow forward Lindsey Schwartz for another goal.

Minnesota closed out the match with a goal in the 86th minute. Grimwood added an assist to her stat line as her pass was redirected into the possession of reserve forward Katie Shelander, who scored her first goal of the season.
