The Wooster women’s soccer improved to 3-0 this weekend with a win over Mt. Union College with a score of 3-0. The Fighting Scots second shutout of the season was a showcase for some newcomers, some returning stars and Wooster’s powerhouse defense.
The Scots were in control from the get-go on both sides of the ball. The team had several scoring opportunities in the opening drives, the team did not get on the scoreboard until there were 17 minutes left in the first half of the game.
Bri Fulmer ’12 knocked the ball in on an assist from Chantal Koechli ’10. The goal was Fulmer’s first of her young collegiate career, while Koechli tallied her team-high third assist of the season. It was the 11th of her career.
And though the Scots continued to dominate for the remainder of the first half, they could not put another goal between the pipes and went into halftime sitting on a one-goal lead.
Liz Mott ’11 extended the Scots’ lead 10 minutes into the second half with her first goal of the season and sixth of her career. Mott looks poised to once again lead the Scots in scoring. She was assisted by midfielder Maggie Kehm ’12, who laced a nice accurate pass to Mott for the first assist of her collegiate career.
Wooster was able to keep the momentum up and scored only nine minutes later into the game. Fulmer recorded her second score of the game unassisted when she blasted a loose ball in front of Mt. Union’s goal net.
With a 20-2 shot advantage and a 10-0 domination of corner kicks, the team proved superior in almost every aspect of the game.
The keepers arguably could have taken a nap in the goal. Alix Hoffman ’11 was required to make only one save, while Caitlin Zusy ’09 didn’t have to make a single one throughout her entire time in the game.

This game is followed by another home match at 1 p.m. against Bethany College tomorrow, Saturday Sept. 13.
