Front Royal, VA - The Mary Baldwin College soccer team improved their record to 2-0 with a win today over Christendom College 4-1.

Freshman Mayzie Lewis scored the Fighting Squirrels first goal less than two minutes into the game then added another just over 30 minutes into the first half.  Junior Caitlin Novak added a third before the half.  

In the final period, senior Windsor Vaughn added one more goal to give Mary Baldwin the 4-1 win.

Coach Tehrani was happy with the fast attack by the Fighting Squirrels. "We started very strong; scoring within the first minute which was our fastest goal ever.  We kept possession very well in the first half and outshot the home team.  In the second half, we came out flat.  They kept possession and controlled the ball for the first 20 minutes in the final period but couldn't create any serious attacks.  We then controlled the final 25 minutes.  We had 4 shots that hit the cross bar and finally scored one more goal before the end of the game."

Overall, the head coach is pleased with the progress of the team.  "It was a very exciting game and the players are showing that they are getting to know each other and playing as a team.  I was very proud of them,"added Coach Tehrani.  "I saw much improvement over the first game."

The Fighting Squirrels will be back in action Saturday afternoon when they travel to Phoenixville, PA to take on the Patriots of Valley Forge Christian Academy.
