The Wilmington College women’s soccer team continued to play well, scoring three straight goals – two in the second half – to record a 3-1 non-conference victory over Ohio Wesleyan Wednesday at Townsend Field.

“I knew we would rebound after the weekend,” said Wilmington head coach Steve Spirk. “We worked on some things the last couple of days, and I think we scored some nice goals today. Getting down 1-0, and coming back to tie it up on a breakaway; making it a game. In the second half, I thought we totally outplayed them and scored two very nice goals.”

The Battling Bishops took the lead with a goal in the 20th minute, but Wilmington answered four minutes later as senior Ashley Lovett scored her fourth goal of the season.

“The team responded,” Spirk said of the early deficit. “We had played well. We hit the post and missed a corner kick we could have scored on. We knew we could get one in on them, it was just a matter of time.”

Junior Hannah Greaney gave Wilmington the lead for good with a header in the 50th minute. She now has a team-high five goals. Sophomore Alex Vestal added an insurance goal, her fourth on the season, in the 65th minute.

“We are getting goals from forwards as well as midfielders; set plays, breakaways, we are getting them in different ways,” said Spirk. “That definitely bodes well for the future.”

Senior Ana Hosler and sophomore Leda Moyer split time in the net. Moyer (1-0-1) earned the victory without facing a shot in the second half. Hosler allowed one goal on two shots in the first half.

There were only six fouls, three on each side, called in the game with no yellow cards.
