CINCINNATI, Ohio – Transylvania University netted three first-half goals in an eight-minute span to road that advantage to a 4-1 win over the Wilmington College women's soccer team at Mount St. Joseph University on Sunday afternoon.

Both teams took just one shot in the first 22 minutes, but the Pioneers' next shot, coming off the foot of Abby Dean, beat Fightin' Quaker netminder Lauren Galloway with a low shot in the 26th minute. Five minutes later, Emilie Yates' strike was blocked by the Wilmington defense, but Transylvania earned a free kick and Audrey Rawls scored with a shot in the upper corner. Leading 2-0, Yates broke through the WC back line a minute later and got herself in the scoring column.

Leading 3-0 at halftime, Transylvania added a fourth goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half as Yates took a pass from Meaghan Curren. Wilmington wouldn't be shutout, however, as Jenna Victor scored her first goal of the season unassisted in the 68th minute.

The Pioneers held a 13-7 advantage in shots including by a 7-3 margin in shots on goal, but the Quakers did improve their play in the second half as shots were equal 6-6 in the final 45 minutes. Morgan Patton earned the win for Transylvania, saving two of the three shots she faced. Galloway dipped to 0-3 with a four-save afternoon.

Wilmington (0-3-0) will look to enter the win column when Wittenberg University comes to Williams Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest on Wednesday.
