PINE BLUFF, Ark. - ULM
scored two early second-half goals en route to a 3-0 victory over Arkansas-Pine
Bluff Wednesday at the UAPB Soccer Field. It marked the second straight victory
for the Warhawks, who moved to 2-1 on the season.
Freshman Karlea Fehr led the Warhawks with a goal and two assists,
giving her a team-leading seven points on the season. Sophomore Taylor Bonetti
and freshman Kelley O'Dwyer each added their first goals of the season.
The Warhawks dominated the match with a 19-5 advantage in shots, but it
took almost 49 minutes for ULM to take control against UAPB (0-4).
Fehr put the Warhawks on the board at the 48:33 mark on assists from O'Dwyer
and sophomore Bethany Park. ULM added its second goal three minutes later off a
cross from Fehr that deflected off freshman Mariah Mitchell before finding
Bonetti, who scored in the right side of the net.
ULM took a 3-0 advantage in the 71st minute when O'Dwyer headed
in a goal off a cross from Fehr.

recorded its second straight shutout. Senior Alex Holland recorded five saves
to lead the defensive effort.
