SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio – The Concord University women's soccer team won its fifth straight game by blanking Notre Dame, 4-0, Wednesday afternoon in a Mountain East Conference contest at Mueller Field.
CU (14-0-3, 12-0-3 MEC) scored 61 seconds into the game as junior forward

Rachel Bell who finished off her fourth goal of the season from the left edge of the penalty box.
Fifth-year senior forward
Yasmin Mosby picked up her MEC-leading 18th goal in the 20th minute as she received a cross from Bell right in front of the net. It just six more minutes for the Mountain Lions to lead by three.
Smith dribbled through the NDC defense down the end line and found junior midfielder
Michelle Brogden crashing towards the net as Brogden fended off two NDC (5-8-3, 5-7-3 MEC) defenders for her fourth goal in the last three games.
With the three-goa advantage, CU's defense kept any serious Notre Dame threats away as it held the Falcons without a shot in the first half.

On Wednesday, fifth-year senior defender
Alyssa Mahar broke the program record for games played by appearing in her 82
nd game at CU.
