Women's soccer goes to 3-0 with road win

Abraham scores twice in 4-0 victory over Oberlin

Box Score
 
OBERLIN, Ohio (Sept. 7) – The Waynesburg University women's soccer team looked in top form on Friday night when it traveled to Oberlin College. The Yellow Jackets peppered the opposing net with shots and got a strong game in net from freshman Ciara Scott during a 4-0 victory over the Yeowomen.
 
The Jackets (3-0) got the eventual game winner during the 15th minute of play as Natalie Abraham continued a fantastic start to her sophomore season by scoring her team-leading fourth goal of the year after burying a rebound that resulted from a shot by junior Taylor Augustine. Waynesburg doubled its advantage before halftime thanks to junior Missy Coleman, who took a feed from freshman Karleigh Murphy and found the back of the net in the 32nd minute to put the visiting team up 2-0.
 
The Jackets put the game away early in the second half thanks to Augustine, who headed in a crossing pass from sophomore Emily Mullady in the 47th minute to make the score 3-0 in favor of Waynesburg. Since she started the game's scoring, Abraham decided to end it as well by tallying the fourth goal of the night in the 70th minute. After an Oberlin (0-2-1) defender allowed the ball to bounce away from her, Abraham took control and fired in her second score of the night and fifth of the year to post the final score of 4-0. The second-year standout not only scored twice on the evening, but piled up a game-high eight shots, including six on goal.
 
While the Waynesburg attack kept the pressure up on the Yeowomen, Scott earned her first collegiate shutout by stopping all seven shots on goal.
 
The Jackets will look to keep its season-opening winning streak going on Saturday, Sept. 8, when they play their third-straight road game at Hiram. Start time is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
