Dover, Del.--The SC State women's soccer team defeated Delaware State, 2-0, in a Great West Conference (GWC) matchup at Memorial Stadium on the campus of Delaware State. The win marks the fourth straight conference win and the fourth straight shut-out for the Lady Bulldogs.
SC State (10-5-1, 4-0-0 GWC) scored both of their goals early in the second half of the contest. Junior
Olivia Moore (Powhatan, VA/VMI) scored the Lady Bulldogs first goal off an assist by
Brooke Ehinger (Long Beach, CA/Long Beach Community College) at the 48:18 mark. A little over a minute later (49:28), freshman
Kaitlynn Penner (Santa Barbara, CA, Nipomo HS) scored the teams second goal from 35 yards out.
Sophomore
Danielle Murphy (El Dorado, CA, Oak Ridge HS) is having an outstanding conference season as she recorded her fourth straight shutout.
"We did not play fantastic, but we did enough to win,” said Bugariu who is in his third season with the Lady Bulldogs. “We created a number of good chances and deserved a couple of more goals, but overall the only thing that matters is that we won."
Bugariu's team picked up its 10th win of the season which already equal last year's win total. SC State has two more opportunities to surpass the win total as they will closeout its three-game road swing on Tuesday, Oct. 19 when they face Howard in a GWC matchup in Washington, DC. The Lady Bulldogs will then close out its regular season Sunday, Oct. 31 when they host NJIT in a GWC matchup.
