BROOKLINE, Massachusetts – Junior forward
Jordan Faveri and freshman defender
Sophie Trepohl each scored a goal as UNCW ran its unbeaten streak to seven games with a 2-0 Colonial Athletic Association women's soccer victory over Northeastern at Parsons Field on Sunday afternoon.
The Seahawks, who have not lost since the season opener on Aug. 22, improved to 6-1-1 overall and 2-0-0 in the CAA. Northeastern dipped to 3-6-1 overall and 0-2-0 against league opponents.
Faveri gave the Seahawks a 1-0 lead in the 12th minute with her fifth goal of the year after taking a pass from graduate student forward
Audrey Harding and ripping a low shot past graduate student goalkeeper
Megan Adams.
Trepohl extended the advantage to 2-0 with just over 10 minutes remaining when she headed in a free kick from redshirt sophomore defender
Hannah Arostegui for the first goal of her college career.
Led by four saves from freshman goalkeeper
Kaylie Bierman, the Seahawks held off Northeastern's 14-shot attack to claim their fourth shutout of the season.
Adams, one of five Northeastern seniors honored in a pre-game ceremony, tallied five saves in the loss.
UNCW and Northeastern return to action on Thursday, Oct. 7. The Seahawks visit William & Mary at 7 p.m., while the Huskies travel to Towson for a 3 p.m. clash against the Tigers.
