FAYETTEVILLE — Three goals in a threeminute stretch were more than enough Sunday for Arkansas as the Razorbacks held their fourth straight opponent scoreless and topped Stephen F. Austin at Razorback Field, 3-0. Arkansas got goals from Kelly O'Connor, Allie Chandler and Laurel Pastor within the first seven minutes of the match to put away the Ladyjacks early.

"In the first 10 minutes of the game, we played to the level we've been striving for," Arkansas coach Erin Aubry said. "Then we took our foot off the pedal and that was a little disappointing. We need to pick up ourmentality and be able to finish games. We didn't finish properly today."

T h e w i n i m p r ov e d Arkansas' best-ever season start to 5-0-1, while SFA is 2-4. The Razorbacks have won two straight with consecutive shutouts following a 0-0 double-overtime tie at Tulsa. The Razorbacks have not allowed a goal since the second game of the season, a 4-2 win over Air Force, and have outscored their opponents 14-2 for the year.

Arkansas closes the nonconference portion of its season next week with a two-game trip to South Florida for a pair of games against Florida Atlantic and FIU.
