HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Florida Gulf Coast remained perfect in Atlantic Sun Conference play Friday night by posting a 2-0 road win at Northern Kentucky University.
Tessa Berger and Shannen Wacker both tallied first-half goals for Florida Gulf Coast, which improved to 8-3-1 overall, 3-0 in the A-Sun. Berger's goal in the 11th minute began the scoring, and Wacker added an insurance score at the 39:16 mark.
Florida Gulf Coast goalie Brittany Brown recorded the shutout and saved two shots. The Eagles finished with a 25-8 advantage in total shots, including 11-2 on goal, and owned an 11-0 edge in corner kicks.
Northern Kentucky goalie Tanner Ruberg collected nine saves. The Norse are 4-7-1 overall, 0-3 in the A-Sun.
Florida Gulf Coast is now 2-0 all-time against Northern Kentucky. A year ago, the Eagles cruised to a 6-0 victory against the Norse in Fort Myers, Fla., as Wacker scored three goals.
