The Belmont Abbey women's soccer team outshot Brevard 25-3 as three different Crusaders found the back of the net, including the first career goal by senior defender Carly Kensinger, as the Abbey women's soccer team earned a 4-0 shutout of the visiting Brevard College Tornados this afternoon at Alumni Field. The win moves the Abbey's ledger to 5-6, while the Tornados drop to 2-9.

Belmont Abbey took control of the match from the start as senior midfielder Rebecca Mateo scored the first of her two goals in the 21st minute, banging home a rebound off of a Connie Axiotis saved shot to put the homestanding Crusaders ahead for good.

That was all of the scoring until exactly 20 minutes left in the contest, when Kensinger, in her 53rd career match, scored her first career goal as she ran up on a failed Brevard clear and one-timed a high, looping shot from 35 yards out over the head of goalkeeper Crissy Moran and into the net for the goal.

11 minutes later Mateo struck again, grabbing a failed clear and firing a shot from the top right corner of the box for her second goal of the match and of the season.

Alana Ryczek closed the scoring in the 85th minute when a Kristin Foster corner kick fell at her feet after banging off of several players and she fired home the winner for the final goal of the match.

In addition to the shots difference, the Crusaders attempted all nine corner kicks in the contest. Hannah Kohls made two saves off of shots from distance.
