CLINTON, S.C. - Presbyterian College women's soccer extended its winning streak to three on Friday night as the Blue Hose comprehensively defeated VMI to open league play, 2-0.  Junior Morgan Fragapane scored twice in the victory to vault herself into the team scoring lead.

The Blue Hose improve to 4-6-1 on the year while VMI falls to 1-10 on the year.  PC is undefeated 1-0 in league play while the Keydets are 0-1 in the Big South.

"We had a great night offensively," said head coach Brian Purcell.  "The team was focused and put in hard work all evening to get the win.  I'm very proud of our defense to get their third straight shutout despite some injuries on the back line."

The Blue Hose offense was strong all night with a total of 25 shots, the second highest total of the season.  The win also sets a Division I era record for wins in a season at four.

Super sub Fragapane opened the scoring in the 35th minute when Jessica Kramer played a long ball from the midfield into the penalty area.  The ball bounced and came to Fragapane at the far edge of the six-yard box.  She struck the ball and delivered it into the goal for a 1-0 PC lead.

Fragapane struck again just eight minutes later off an assist by Katie Hunter.  The senior, Hunter, played a cross from the far wing to the center of the box where Fragapane struck the ball at full stretch to score for the second time of the night.  The goal raised her season goals tally to two.

The Blue Hose took the 2-0 lead into the halftime break for the second time in 2010.

In the second half, the Blue Hose siege of the Keydet goal continued when Sara Simpson fed Stephanie Aaron at ten yards out.  She senior struck the ball in stride but was denied by the crossbar.

Current Big South Defensive Player of the Week validated her award with the third consecutive clean sheet on her resume.  The junior captain stopped eight shots as the Keydets took ten total tries. 

The Blue Hose close out the weekend at home against the Radford Highlanders on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m.  VMI visits UNC Asheville on Sunday.
