BELMONT, N.C. — The Belmont Abbey women's soccer team put together one of its strongest offensive showings of the season as the Crusaders defeated North Greenville 4-0 Tuesday at Alumni Field.

McKenna Schwarz got the scoring started with her first career goal as a Crusader followed by goals from Austin Bowling, Gabriela Enciso and Anna Richárd. Enciso also had an assist in the victory.

Belmont Abbey is now 3-1-2 on the season and 2-0-2 in Conference Carolinas play. North Greenville is 1-5-1 overall and 1-3 in the league.
