FROSTBURG, Md. – The Frostburg State Women's Soccer team continued their winning start to the year with a dominant 5-0 display over Wheeling on Saturday afternoon.
 
FSU wasted no time taking the lead, as junior Caroline Burton played in fellow junior Toni Fiocco-Mizer, who had an easy finish on her left foot in the middle of the box for a 1-0 lead inside five minutes.
 
The Bobcats continued to pepper Wheeling's goal with shots, but Burton and junior Dez Mortimer were both denied by keeper Mikayla Yarwood. Sophomore Carolyn DeSena got the cushion Frostburg desired, as she had an easy header on the doorstep of the goal after a defensive miscue crashed off the crossbar. With just three minutes left until the half, sophomore Cat Smith added to her goal tally, rising highest on a corner from sophomore Keely Knotts to take a 3-0 lead.
 
Within five minutes of the second half, Frostburg put the game away with another goal from Smith and a goal from sophomore Mackenzie Alonso to put FSU up 5-0. Sophomore keeper Katie Sterne came on in place of junior Ashley Bilger and made a couple of good saves to preserve the clean sheet. Sophomore Madi Allen impressed in her forward role, testing Yarwood on multiple occasions and providing for teammates, but FSU was unable to find a sixth goal, ending with their fourth straight shutout win.
 
The four wins to start the season are the most for the program since 2012.
 
With the win, Frostburg improves to 4-0 on the year, while Wheeling falls to 0-4. The Bobcats are back in action on Wednesday, September 14 on the road against West Liberty, with kick-off set for 6 p.m. Information and updates will be posted at frostburgsports.com.
