NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Frostburg State women's soccer overpowered Christopher Newport 1-0 to win its CAC season opener, Saturday afternoon.

The Bobcats (5-5, 1-0) shutout CNU (5-3-1, 0-1) in both teams' Capital Athletic Conference season opener. The FSU defense proved to be stalwart throughout the entire game and senior goalkeeper Paige Gray made six saves on the night.

The Captains outshot Frostburg State 16-8 throughout the first half; however they could not seem to find the back of the net.

Frostburg State made a run late in the first half when senior Erin Worthman split a pair of defenders and slipped a shot into the left corner on a low grounder in the 37^th minute. This marks Worthman's third goal of the season and also proved to be the game winner this afternoon.

CNU tried to even the score in the second half, but had two of their goals called back. The first goal attempt was called back for offsides and the second attempt was called back when a CNU player kicked the ball out of the goalies' hands on the ground, leading to a 1-0 FSU victory.

The Captains goalkeeper made two saves on the night while FSU's Gray walked away with the win.

Frostburg women's soccer will return to the field when they travel to Gettysburg on Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 4 pm.
