BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Goals from Addie Englehart in the first half and Tori Doss in the second half powered Xavier to a 2-0 win over WKU Friday at the WKU Soccer Complex in the first of two Lady Topper exhibition matches before regular season play begins Aug. 21.
WKU was able to get off seven shots, two each from Iris Dunn and Hannah Chua. In the second half, a ball was placed inside the box with several Lady Toppers around, but Rachel Piccus was able to dive on the ball for the save. WKU was able to get close, but Xavier's goalkeepers, Piccus and Libby Grace, had two saves each.
On the other side of the field, Allison Leone recorded six saves while playing the entire 90 minutes of the game.
