Berea, KY – Fresh off a weekend sweep in the USA South Athletic Conference, the women's soccer team returned home to face Mississippi University for Women Thursday night. 
 
The Mountaineers jumped on the Owls early with a goal from senior Bailee Vanover (Richmond, KY) off an assist from freshman Alyssa Tittsworth (Oak Ridge, TN) just five minutes into the match. Vanover racked up two more goals, one at the 9:00 mark and another at 35:00 to give Berea a 3-0 edge heading into the half.  The Mountaineers added two more goals in the second half, one from junior Abigail Hansford (Athens, TN) and another from sophomore Corinne Fojtek (London, KY) for a 5-0 lead. 
 
Freshman keeper Kyla Simmons (Louisville, KY) recorded seven saves to preserve the shutout.

The Mountaineers (5-8, 3-3 USA-S) have now won three straight and will look to keep their winning streak alive this weekend.  Berea hosts LaGrange College Saturday at 1:00 PM at the Berea College Sports Complex.
