Southeast Missouri State University's women's soccer team scored three second-half goals to down Belmont 3-0 Friday night in the season-opening SEMO Tournament.

Erika Todd netted the first score at the 68-minute mark, then Nichole Thiele and Erin Slattery scored the final two, 30 seconds apart, with about three minutes to go.

Beth Guccione made two saves in recording the shutout.

In Friday's other game, Ball State won 1-0 behind a first-half goal by Eileen Weinheimer.
