CNU earns 2-0 win over Wesleyan in women's soccer action

Rocky Mount, NC - Christopher Newport University scored two first half goals on Wednesday afternoon at Scalf Field, and it was all the Captains would need to remain perfect in USA South play as they captured a 2-0 win over the homestanding Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan. With the win, CNU improves to 11-6-1 on the season, 8-0 in league play. Despite turning in a solid performance, the Bishops fall to 5-9-1 overall, 3-4-1 in conference action.

The Bishops played a stellar defensive game, but they were unable to overcome scores by Katie Jaywork and Jenn Campbell in the 30th and 33rd minutes. The Captains went on to out-shoot Wesleyan 24-7 on the day.

Wesleyan narrowly missed taking a 1-0 lead when senior Rachel Hernandez rifled a 15-yard shot just over the post at the 27:56 mark. The scare seemed to awaken the Captains, who proceeded to tally their two goals over the next five minutes.

NCWC keepers Bryanne Godfrey and Sarah Hess split time in goal and combined for nine saves. CNU goalies Dineen Sampson and Erin Wojtkun also split time between the pipes, combining for three saves.

The Bishops will wrap up their 2008 regular season slate on Saturday when Averett University visits Scalf Field. Game time is slated for 3:30 p.m.
