Richmond, Ind.- Junior midfielder Abby McCollough’s goal 1:09 into the contest propelled the Earlham College women’s soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Berea on Wednesday.

Junior Michaela Bush nearly gave Earlham a 2-0 lead in the 13th minute, but her shot from a sharp angle deflected off of the crossbar.
Leading just 1-0 after halftime, Earlham needed another goal to put the game out of reach. Sophomore Kelsey Moore did just that, scoring in the 58th minute off of a pass from junior Cherrah Barclay.

In total, the Quakers took 26 shots with 17 of them being on net. The Mountaineers fired eight shots with four on net. Earlham  senior goalkeeper Ashley Johnson was tested, however sprawling out to tip two would be goals just wide.
