HOW IT HAPPENED
  • West Liberty took the lead in the eighth minute, as Morgan Kost received a pass from Amelia Compston directly in front of Notre Dame's Jordan Pasalaqua in goal and proceeded to place the ball in the back of the net on the nearside post for her first goal as a Hilltopper.
  • The Hilltoppers extended their lead to 2-0 in the 57th minute as Holly Brighton scored her first career goal. The scoring opportunity started with Ellie Cunningham firing a shot toward the top of the goal, but Pasalaqua was able to react in time and knock the ball out of play. On the WLU corner kick, Brighton received the pass in from Compston and headed the ball into the left side of the net.
  • Zara Wickert recorded her third career shutout and first of the season for the Black & Gold, making five saves in both the first and second halves of play. Wednesday's match also marked only the second time in her career that she reached double digit saves in a game with ten on the night.
  • Notre Dame held the advantage in shots (23-11) and shots-on-goal (10-8) while West Liberty held the edge in corner kicks (3-2) and saves (10-6).
