Wheeling, W. Va – The Charleston Golden Eagles made the trip to the Northern Panhandle on Saturday to face the Cardinals of Wheeling University.

How it Happened
Charleston would strike first in the contest in the 22nd minute on a Frankie Morrow free kick. Morrow, from the left side just outside the box, would send her shot just out of the keeper's reach into the bottom left corner to take the 1-0 for the visitors. Six minutes later, Juliette Lucas would add on to the lead with a close-range goal just in front of the net. Teya Baptista would take a nice touch towards the net from the right wing and play a beautiful pass to Lucas. The striker would take one touch and deliver the shot with no trouble at all for the two-score lead. 
 
The Golden Eagles would fire off eight shots on goal in the first half and limiting the Cardinals to just three shots all together with two of them saved by Jordan Maynard. The teams would head to the locker room with Charleston leading the way at 2-0. 
 
In the second half, both goals would come from reliable veteran Laura Vierhout, and rather quickly. In the 50thminute, a corner kick from Lina Jaime would find a Golden Eagle head in the box. After pin-balling around, Vierhout's header would give Charleston a 3-0. 
 
Moving to the 55th minute, a shot from Juliette Lucas would parry off the keeper, but Vierhout read the play from start to finish and knocked in the rebound to take a dominating 4-0 lead. Charleston would not concede a goal for the duration of the match and they would earn another shut-out victory on the year. Maynard would put up six saves on nine shots faced, earning her seventh shutout of the year.
