Box Score Two games into the 2012 season, the young EMU soccer women are already making a run at last year's win total. With Wednesday's 2-0 trumping of Cairn, the Lady Royals are now 2-0 after finishing 2011 with three wins.
The women looked a little sluggish in the first half against the Highlanders but got things rolling in the second.
Forward Nora Osei (Springfield, VA/West Springfield) scored in the 61st minute to put EMU up 1-0. Morgan Hill (Martinsville, VA/Carlisle) picked up an assist with a nice pass. Five minutes later, Elisa Ott (Lancaster, PA/Penn Manor) knocked in an unassisted goal to provide the cushion and final score.
Freshman keeper Becca Borg (Gig Harbor, WA/Peninsula) made a number of nice stops and finished with six saves to earn her first collegiate shutout.
Eastern Mennonite had a 16-9 edge in shots and 10-2 in corner kicks.
The Lady Royals play their third straight home game Saturday morning, hosting Marymount (Va.) at 11:00am.
