BISMARCK, ND – Maicee Burke posted a pair of goals in her first collegiate appearance and Rachel Gensch added a goal and an assist as the University of Mary outpaced visiting University of Regina 4-1. With just five days of training in the books after opening fall camp on Monday, the Marauders scored a pair of goals in each half for the exhibition win.
 
Denied a pair of scoring opportunities early in the contest, the Marauders cracked the scoreboard first when Sophia Lange found herself all alone atop the goal box on a feed from Allison Lepp. After a quick touch, Lange buried the ball into the back of the net in the 43^rd minute.
 
Just 14 seconds later Burke gathered a ball from Gensch and tallied to give UMary a 2-0 lead entering intermission.
 
Burke took a feed from her sister Maliah Burke to open the second half scoring in the 66^th minute.
 
A goal by the Cougars closed the Marauders lead to 3-1 before Gensch pushed the UMary advantage back to three goals in the 83^rd minute.
 
The Marauders defense dominated the Cougars, allowing Regina just two shots in the game with both coming in the second half. UMary held a 22-2 edge in shots and a 10-2 lead in shots on frame. Additionally the Marauders triggered 13 corner kicks while the Cougars had none.
 
After playing a pair of scrimmages next weekend in California, UMary opens the regular season at MSU Billings on September 5 before hosting Emporia State September 15.
