The Murray State Racers pushed their home win streak to seven in a 2-0 win over the Eastern Kentucky Colonels in Ohio Valley Conference women's soccer at Cutchin Field in Murray, Ky.
The Racers (8-7, 4-2 OVC) got on the board first in the 23rd minute when Bronagh Kerins scored her third goal of the season from 13 yards out off of Pavlina Nepokojova's seventh assist.
MSU kept the pressure on the Colonels (3-11-1, 1-4-1 OVC) and scored again in the 43rd minute when Harriet Withers had a corner kick. The kick settled in front of Taylor Stevens who threaded a pass to Taylor Richerson for her second goal of the season.
The Racer defense was air-tight all day in limiting the EKU attack. Racer goalkeeper Shelby Haworth stopped all four shots she faced to record her fifth shutout of the season. Additionally, MSU has four straight shutouts at home and haven't surrendered a goal on their home pitch since the Northern Kentucky game (Sept. 21) which marks a span of 420 minutes-28 seconds.
MSU scored first today and is 7-0 this season when they get on the board first.
MSU outshot EKU 19-7. Â
With four games remaining in the regular season, the Racers have moved into a tie for first place in the OVC with 12 points. The Racers are tied with SIUE as the Cougars had their first loss of league play Sunday to Austin Peay 1-0. Morehead State played a 1-1 tie at UT Martin. The Eagles are in third place with 11 points and the Skyhawks are in fourth place with 10 points.
As the conference race comes down the stretch, the Racers are facing playing three of their final four games on the road. The Racers travel to Charleston, Ill., Friday to play at Eastern Illinois at 3 p.m.
The Racers return home for senior day (Oct. 26) when they host Belmont.
