WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Howard women's soccer team got off to a good start in preseason action, picking up a 9-0 shutout win over Columbia Union College at Greene Stadium.
Offensively, the Bison had a solid outing, as Rachael Lee led the way with four goals and Natalie Williston fired three. Stephanie McLean and Megan Nick picked up one goal apiece.
Williston and Nick also finished with two assists each while McLean, Elizabeth McDaniel and Samantha Cunningham each added one.
On the defensive end, the line preserved the shutout and limited Columbia Union's scoring chances. In goal, senior Jessamyn Perkins and freshman Beatrice Charles split duties and combined for the shutout.
Howard will officially open up the 2008 campaign on Friday when it welcomes VMI to Greene Stadium at 7 p.m.
