Sh’Nia Gordon lifts West Virginia over Saint Frances in Big 12 tuneup

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After 71 scoreless minutes, Sh’Nia Gordon put West Virginia ahead and Jordan Brewster tacked on an insurance goal for a 2-0 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.) on Sunday.

The Mountaineers (4-2-3) have won three straight as they enter Big 12 Conference play.

For the second consecutive match, the defense did not allow a shot, the first back-to-back whitewashes in the program’s 23-year history.

Saint Francis (2-6-2) also did not earn a corner kick.

Gordon’s second goal in as many matches followed a pass from Stefany Ferrer-vanGinkel.

“You have to give a lot of credit to Saint Francis – they did everything they could to disrupt us,” WVU coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said.
