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.
