The Western Kentucky soccer team put together its largest shutout margin of victory in a season opener in program history as four Lady Toppers found the back of the net in Thursday’s 5-0 win over Belmont at the WKU Soccer Complex.
Freshman Ansley Cate struck twice in the opening 10 minutes, with Katie Erwin, Ambere Barnett and Chelsea Moore rounding out the goal scorers for the Lady Toppers. All five goals came from underclassmen as Cate and Erwin scored in their official regular-season debuts. WKU topped its previous best season-opening shutout margin of 4-0 set in a victory over Grambling State in 2005.
