ATLANTA—Taylor Whiteside scored the game winner in the ninth minute, and the Oglethorpe women's soccer team never looked back with a 10-0 win over Wesleyan Monday night at home. The win improved the Stormy Petrels to 4-3-2 and marked their third win in the last five games.
Whiteside was one of a trio of multigoal scorers as Jade Anderson and Mackenzie Jones also had two tallies. Ella Price, Delaney Hanks, Safiya Said and Lily Burford rounded out the other scores for the Petrels.
