Former University of Virginia and Hampton Roads Piranhas forward Darci Borski scored her first Norwegian League goal on Saturday, helping Asker to a 5-0 triumph at Arna-Bjornar.
Jenny Benson made her Russian League debut, and Denise Reddy anchored Malmo's backline in a 3-0 win at Hammarby.
Borski's 55th-minute goal stretched Asker's advantage to three goals as the club, one of two perfect sides in the Kvinner Toppserien, won its third match, all shutouts. Borski has started up front in all three games, but Saturday was the first game in which she's played the full 90 minutes.
Former New York Power midfielder Anita Rapp added a goal for Asker, and Norwegian World Cup midfielder Lise Klaveness also tallied.
Benson, a U.S. women's national team pool defender who played for Philadelphia in the WUSA, debuted in FC Energy Voronezh's 4-1 victory over Rossiyanka.
Malmo FF, with Reddy in central defense, notched its third shutout of the season, climbing to third place after three matches, behind only powers Umea IK and Djurgarden/Alvsjo.
