Freshman Karina Vega scored both goals for the Jackets and continued her outstanding play. Vega, (Asuncion, Paraguay) scored a goal in last weeks tournament running her season total now to three. "We played very well again today," Coach Wagenaar said from Omaha. "Vega has been excellent for us this season and is a very exciting player to watch. We had good play from our entire defense as well. Goalie Leslie Danner (Raytown, MO) has really stepped in and solidified herself as a tough player, which is also helping immensely" concluded Wagenaar.
