CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel women's soccer team scored early and often as they rolled to a 9-0 victory over Toccoa Falls College of the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulldogs moved to 4-0-1, the most matches they've gone to start a season without a loss in program history.

How It Happened:
8' – Eleina Bryant scored her first career goal as a CIT shot off the post found the foot of the freshman to open the scoring.
15' – A pair of grad students connected for the second marker as Ariana Paez set up Casey O'Connor for her first collegiate goal in her fifth season of play.
18' – This time O'Connor set up Bryant for her second tally before fellow freshman Reagan Wise got on the board in the 26' for her second of the season.
44' – Didi Turay netted one just before the break, her first of the year.
50' – A pair of seniors, Amber Fairfax and Maggie Melogy, accounted for the latter's first goal of 2024 before Fairfax got her own in the 57^th.
Paez (64') and Chloe Washington (76') closed out the scoring for The Citadel.

Inside the Numbers:

• Sophomore Samantha Grantham returned to the pitch for the first time since suffering a season-ending injury on 9/10/23. She assisted on Wise's goal for her seventh career point in just eight matches.
• Junior Grace Laws got her fourth career start in goal, earning her third win and second career shutout.
• O'Connor played 51 matches in four years for Coastal before scoring her first collegiate goal in her fourth match for The Citadel.
