Lisa Philbin's pro soccer career has gotten off to a great start.

The former Marquette forward-midfielder scored the lone goal in the 35th minute Saturday as Kvarnsvedens IK tipped host Hovås Billdal IF 1-0 in an Elitettan match in Sweden.

Kvarnsvedens (8-4-5) hasn't allowed a goal in a four-game unbeaten streak and has moved up to fourth place in the 14-team second division with nine matches left in the season.

Philbin also scored for the club in its 4-0 rout of Östersunds DFF in a second-round Swedish Cup match on July 30, giving her two goals in three games with her new team. On Twitter: @lisaphilbin
