SALEM, W.Va. -- The Thiel College women's soccer team won for the second time in a row by defeating the Tigers of Salem International by a score of 2-0 on Saturday.

Thiel's first goal came in the 19th minute of play as senior Karen Wolfe (Troy, Pa./Troy Senior) scored to put the Tomcats in front 1-0. Eleven minutes later, freshman Nichole Carlton (Beloit, Ohio/West Branch ) placed a corner kick at the foot of junior Alana Smith (Struthers, Ohio/Struthers), who found the back of the net to give Thiel the 2-0 advantage heading into half-time.

The game would end by the same score as Thiel improved its record to 3-4-1.

The Tomcats were efficient, scoring twice even though they were outshot 11-8 by the Tigers. The Tigers also held an advantage on corner kicks, 4-2.

Freshman goalkeeper Mary Oakey (Baltimore, Md. /Mercy ) recorded her second shut-out of the season as she made five saves in net for the Blue and Gold.
