LISLE, Ill.- Jaden LeRoy (Evansville/Evansville) turned in a career game on Saturday (Sept. 12), scoring four of UW-Oshkosh's goals in a 6-0 victory over Benedictine University (Ill.) at the Eagles' Village of Lisle-Benedictine University Sports Complex.
LeRoy's goal total is second-most in program history behind only Joanna Albers' 6-goal effort at UW-River Falls on Oct. 6, 2000.
The haul (four goals in a game) is also the second for the Titans in the last five seasons.
Greta Steines (Eau Claire/Eau Claire Memorial) found the back of the net four times during Oshkosh's 15-0 blowout win at Ripon College on Sept. 1, 2022.
On the week, LeRoy scored five times, adding to her goal against Milwaukee School of Engineering in Oshkosh on Sept. 9.
The Titans (3-2) scored three times in the first half and three more in the second, totaling 34 shots (22 on goal) with an even 17-17 split between the periods. The Eagles (1-4) managed just five shots in the game (two on goal).
While Benedictine saved 16 shots to Oshkosh's two, the Titans were awarded five corner kicks to the Eagles' one.
LeRoy shot seven times in the contest with six going on goal.
Addie Wreath (Appleton/Appleton East), who scored her first collegiate goal on Saturday, and
Ariana Gonzalez (Appleton/Appleton North) both shot four times and put three on goal.
In her third career game with Oshkosh and with her second shot,
Macy Donnenwerth (Winona, Minn./Cotter Schools) tallied the sixth and final goal of the match.
Belle Dehner (Cottage Grove/Monona Grove),
Ryley Meenk (Waukesha/Waukesha South),
Laney Wiebel (Oshkosh/Oshkosh West),
Nadia Epshteyn (Cedarburg/Cedarburg),
Kylie Morrey (Spring Green/River Valley),
Jade Schrader (Sugar Grove, Ill./Kaneland) and
Hannah Huntley (Hudson/Hudson) all combined for the remainder of Oshkosh's attempts within the posts.
Maddie Daigle (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy), Wreath and
Addyson Knoebel (Appleton/Appleton West) all tallied assists on Saturday.
In goal,
Larissa Likes (Kaukauna/Kaukauna) picked up her third win of the season and combined with
Jamaya Mariner (Green Bay/Green Bay East), who played the entire second half, for Oshkosh's third shutout in six matches.
LeRoy got the Titans started early with an unassisted goal just over a minute into play. After she missed wide right on a potential second goal shortly later, LeRoy took a pass from Daigle and created a 2-0 lead at 8:01.
Oshkosh went up 3-0 in the 18th minute on Wreath's goal and the Titan defense locked down possession through the end of the half by giving up just one off-target shot.
In a repeat of the first half, LeRoy wasted no time in scoring. She took just 22 seconds to add to Oshkosh's lead, this time assisted by Wreath, who stole the ball from the Eagles right out of the kickoff.
LeRoy's haul-sealing goal came unassisted in the 52nd minute.
Coming out of a throw in at midfield in the 76th minute, Knoebel passed to an open Donnenwerth, who scored the Titans' first double hat-trick since the 15-goal match against Ripon in 2022.
While Likes did not see a shot on goal in the first half, Mariner saved two: in the 62nd and 89th minutes.
The Titans return to J. J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium to host University of Dubuque (Iowa) (1-2-1) for the fourth annual 151 Derby. The Spartans won the inaugural match in 2023, and both the 2024 and 2025 games ended in a tie which leaves the trophy in their possession. All time, Oshkosh holds a 5-4-2 record against the Spartans.
