Wooster Wins Impressively in Home Opener

WOOSTER, Ohio – The College of Wooster women's soccer team was dominant at both ends of the field in its 2008 home debut Saturday afternoon, as the Fighting Scots shutout visiting Mt. Union College 3-0 at Carl Dale Memorial Field. Freshman Bri Fulmer led the Scots' charge with her first two collegiate goals in the victory.

Wooster (3-0) kept the offensive pressure on right from the opening whistle. Following some good scoring opportunities, the home team got on the board first with just over 17 minutes remaining in the opening half when Fulmer booted in a touch pass from junior Chantal Koechli following one of the Scots' six corner kicks in the first half. The helper was Koechli's team-high third assist of the fall and 11th of her career.

Despite the Scots controlling the majority of the action, it remained a 1-0 lead at the halftime break. In the second half, Wooster extended its lead nearly 10 minutes into action with sophomore Liz Mott's first score of the season and sixth of her career coming on a through ball off the foot of freshman Maggie Kehm.

Wooster continued to keep the intensity up, as nine minutes later Fulmer recorded an unassisted goal from six yards out on a loose ball in front of the Purple Raiders' net.

Overall, Wooster held a decisive advantage in nearly every category. The hosts outshot Mt. Union by a 20-2 margin, and tallied 10 corner kicks, while not allowing the visitors one of their own.

In net, Wooster's Alix Hoffman recorded a save in 69:10 of action, while Caitlin Zusy finished out the contest. Mt. Union's (0-2-1) Cayla Ovalle tallied six saves in goal, while Taryn Vespoint grabbed one save.

The Scots continue their non-conference, five-match homestand this Wednesday against Marietta College (0-2) at 4:30 p.m.
