    (With this year's fall semester sports sidelined by health concerns, let's take a look back at what was happening in Hilltopper sports on this date in history. Seven years ago today, the WLU women's soccer team led virtually wire-to-wire in a 3-0 road shutout at Ohio County rival Wheeling Jesuit!)
Box Score
    WHEELING, W.Va. – The West Liberty University women's soccer team came up big on Saturday, shutting out Wheeling Jesuit, 3-0, in a crucial Mountain East Conference match at the Cardinals' LaRosa Field.
    The win prevented Wheeling Jesuit (5-9-3, 4-6-3) from clinching an MEC playoff berth and kept post-season hopes alive for Coach Barry Christmas's Hilltoppers (5-10-1, 4-8-1).
    In order to claim one of the MEC's four playoff spots, West Liberty needs to win its final MEC match on Tuesday against last-place Shepherd and get some help with Wheeling Jesuit and Concord losing their final league matches.
    The Hilltoppers put themselves in that position on Saturday with one of their strongest performances of the season.
    West Liberty jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead on a Courtney Webb goal in the 14^th minute and pushed the margin to 2-0 at halftime on a penalty kick off the foot of Janice Johnson in the 30^th minute.
    Alexa Robinson tacked on an insurance goal in the 75^th minute while Rachel Coles came through with 7 saves in net to preserve the shutout.
    The Hilltoppers outshot the Cardinals, 12-9, and forced 4 corners to just 2 by the hosts.
