The George Fox University women’s soccer team cashed in a handful of scoring chances and thwarted Southern Oregon University’s dangerous offense in a 4-1 nonconference victory at University Field Monday.

Former South Medford High star Amber Stevens scored twice for the Bruins within eight minutes in a return trip to the Rogue Valley. Sophomore midfielder Emily Atkinson added a pair of insurance goals in the second stanza to lead Bruins.

Southern Oregon, which out-shot GFU 23-19 but fell to 0-2 overall, pulled within 2-1 in the 33rd minute on a 25-foot looper over Bruin goalkeeper Amaris Tronson following a perfect give-and-go pass from junior all-star Katie Emerson, but the Raiders got no closer.
