Tulsa, Okla. – Tulsa built a big lead and kept Northwestern State at bay Sunday while posting a 5-1 women's college soccer victory over the visiting Lady Demons.

Rebecca Handley, Lindsey Kirch, Lauren King and Stephanie Aitken gave the Golden Hurricanes a 4-0 lead at halftime.

Freshman goalkeeper Brooke Bourbonais made 15 saves in net for the Lady Demons.

“This was a difficult weekend for us,' said head coach George Van Linder. “We learned a lot, but we don't need to lose to learn, and we will be better because of this.”
