ATLANTA— The Oglethorpe women's soccer team started the week off strong with a win Monday night against Oxford of Emory on the Petrels' home turf. After halftime proved to be eventful with six of the seven total goals of the game scored in the second half. The final score of the game was 5-2.

The first goal of the game was not until the end of the first half when Lauren Kirby put the Stormy Petrels on the scoreboard with the assist by Kirsten Wrona and only five minutes left in the half. Wrona nearly scored the goal herself but instead watched it go off the post and rebound to Kirby who was there to put it away.

Maddie Ennis scored her first goal of the season and the second goal of the game for the Petrels with Elizabeth Cortes on the assist. Other scorers in the second half include Rebecca O'Neill, Devyn Canty with the assist by Jade Anderson, and Londyn Riley.

Oglethorpe goalie Haley Lowell played another great game with six saves of the eight shots on goal by Oxford of Emory.

The Stormy Petrels will hit the road to play their second Southern Athletic Association game of the season this Saturday, Oct. 2, against Sewanee. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m.
