HELENA -- The Carroll College Saints swapped goals with Northwest Christian, and then uncorked three consecutive to take a 4-1 victory on Saturday evening in Eugene, Oregon.

McKenna Payne scored first for the Saints, netting a 22-yard free kick into the right corner in the 11th minute.

The Saints (3-5-1, 2-0-1) held that 1-0 margin until the second half. 

Northwest Christian scored the equalizer in the 52nd minute. 

Talya Vaira gave the Saints the lead for good. The senior scored on a 25-yard shot that settled into the top left corner of the net. 

Then, Payton Netz struck twice on headers set up by -- who else -- Vaira in the 62nd and 68th minute. 

Saints goalkeeper Devan Murfitt made seven saves on the day. 

Carroll closed its weekend with a 2-0 record on the road.

The Saints host Multnomah and Warner Pacific on Sept. 28 and 29.
