Ovefelt And Turlington Lead Women’s Soccer To 2-0 Victory Over Radford

RADFORD, Va. – The Gardner-Webb women's soccer team took on Radford at Patrick D. Cupp Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night. The Runnin' Bulldogs emerged on top of the Highlanders in a 2-0 shutout victory.  
 
"That was the definition of team win," said head coach Mike Varga. "Radford put us on our heels in the first half and we weathered their attack behind a couple great saves from Katelyn. I asked the team to come out in the second half with a different mindset and they responded. Klara scored a composed goal that really built our confidence and then Maddie was able to finish the penalty. Wonderful team win to get three points against such a good team on the road and to keep such a high scoring attack from finding the net tonight was another good step for us."
 
GWU sealed the shutout win in the second half, as Klara Ovefelt scored the first goal of the matchup shortly after the start of the second half. Ovefelt was able to find the net off of a pass from Maddie Turlington in the 47th minute of play.
 
Sealing the win for the Red and Black, Maddie Turlington netted the second goal of the night on a penalty kick in the 49th minute.
 
The Highlanders paced the night in shots with a total of 25, with the Runnin' Bulldogs taking just seven shots. Radford had a grand total of 13 corner kick opportunities, and Gardner-Webb took three. The 'Dogs fouled 13 times throughout the night, and the Highlanders committed just six fouls.  
 
Goalkeeper Katelyn Kellogg helped to seal the shutout win for GWU, as the spent the full match between the posts, allowing zero goals against and having nine saves.
 
The 'Dogs will be back in action at 7 pm on Saturday, October 2nd, as they take on Longwood University at Greene-Harbison Stadium.
