Freshman Chloe Hull earned her second-straight shutout, stopping five shots.

Kennedy gave the Tigers the lead 16:47 into the first half.  She picked up a ball that bounced off the Crimson Storm (4-6, 1-3 GAC) goalie after a shot from junior Lexie DeVore at the top center of the box.

The teams kept the score at 1-0 until the second half, when Kennedy scored her second of the game.  This time she had a one-on-one with a defender up the middle of the box after beating the goalie and getting a pass from sophomore Deanna Rudasill.

The final goal of the match came from DeVore, who took a long pass from Kennedy from the defensive side of the field and ran straight up the middle.  She took a shot at the top of the box that beat the goalie on the right for the 3-0 final.

The Tigers had control of the match most of the way, recording 10 shots on goal to five by SNU.  ECU also earned an 8-2 corner kicks.
