WAYNESBURG, Pa. (Sept. 5) – The Waynesburg University women's soccer team dominated the visiting squad from Chatham and earned a 3-0 win in their Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) opener Friday night at John F. Wiley Stadium.

 

The Yellow Jackets (2-1, 1-0) peppered Chatham goalie Mary McMahon with 31 shots on the evening, compared to just two from the Cougars (0-3, 0-1). Three of those shots came from freshman forward Melody Cox, a Waynesburg native, sophomore Danielle Danhires and freshman Courtney Ebersole, who all scored goals in the win.

 

The eventual game-winning tally came from Cox, who scored 13:24 into the contest. Danhires and Ebersole scored a pair of goals less than three minutes apart in the second period to seal the deal.

 

Junior Catherine Moore assisted on the goals by Danhires and Ebersole and sophomore Carly Cocciolone helped out on the Cox tally.

 

In goal, a trio of Yellow Jacket goalies combined to record the team's second 3-0 shutout of the season, the first coming in the season-opener against Carlow. Senior Paige Yeich got the start, while freshmen Katrina Kelly and Jaime Williamson added some minutes in net.

 

Waynesburg returns to action on Wednesday, Sept. 10 when they host Mt. Aloysius in non-conference play.
