THE SHORT STORY: VCU used two first quarter goals to get out to an early lead and earned the shutout win on Senior Day.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Litiana Field scored a goal and had two shot attempts

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Rams went up 2-0 in the 14th minute after Lonica McKinney followed her first shot attempt and scored from close range
  • Sturm made it 3-0 just before halftime in the 30th minute, scoring from the wing on a shot that skipped underneath the goalkeeper
  • Goodwin pushed the lead to 4-0 in the 43rd minute after her initial shot attempt was saved and she was able to score off the rebound
