Women's Soccer Dominates Erskine, 2-0 For Fourth-Straight Victory

9/25/2013 12:00:00 AM

Box Score

The Belmont Abbey women's soccer team outshot Erskine 30-1 as it scored one goal in each half to earn a 2-0 win over the visiting Flying Fleet this afternoon at Alumni Field. It is the Abbey's fourth-straight win and the fourth clean sheet of the year as the Crusaders improve to 6-1-0 and 2-0-0 in Conference Carolinas, while Erskine falls to 1-6-0 overall and 1-1-0 in league play.

Belmont Abbey wasted no time getting on the board, as Jillian Lang scored the second goal of her career and season at the 4:53 mark.

Maggie Moore took a short corner kick and sailed it to the center of the box, where Lang slammed it home past goalkeeper Ashton Burgess and a Fleet defender stationed on the line.

 

That was all of the scoring in the first half in which the Crusaders outshot Erskine 12-1.

The contest looked like it would end 1-0 despite the Abbey's relentless pressure throughout the match. The Crusaders outshot Erskine 18-0 in the second half and had a Meghan Philp goal waved off due to an offsides.

Late in the match, freshman Sarah Silapaxay capped off the Abbey's second-straight 2-0 win with her first career goal in the 88th minute. The rookie from Charlotte ran down a long pass that sailed over the Erskine defense, fought off a defender and used her right foot to beat Burgess for the winner. She is the seventh player to score at least once for the Crusaders this season.

In addition to the shots advantage, the Abbey attempted all eight corner kicks in the match. Burgess made 13 saves, while Hannah Kohls made one easy one in the second half.
