Bethlehem, PA (September 7, 2013) – The DeSales University women's soccer team made history on Saturday afternoon defeating its local rival Moravian College, 3-2, for its first win over the Greyhounds in the seventh career meeting between the two teams.

Moravian (1-3) took a 1-0 lead when Kirsten Schall scored unassisted on a direct kick in the 16th minute.

DSU countered when senior Brady Walsh took a thru ball from freshman Eve Barna and beat the Greyhound keeper in the 23rd minute.  The Bulldogs struck again just 2:43 later when senior Melissa Pugliese scored off a corner kick feed from junior Alyssa Borgesi to give DSU a 2-1 lead that stood into the half.

DeSales added an insurance tally in the 77th minute when freshman Jessica Wetherhold knocked home a centering pass from Walsh with the Greyhound keeper out of the box.

The insurance goal proved to be important as Moravian scored a goal in the 84th minute again from Schall but were unable to get the tying marker as DSU held on for the victory.

It was not only DSU's first win over Moravian but it marked the first time DeSales had scored more than one goal on the Greyhounds having been shutout five times and only recorded one goal in the previous six meetings.

The Bulldogs are now unbeaten in its four games this season (2-0-2) and will look to make it five straight on Wednesday, September 11th when they return home to host Rosemont College in a non-conference game beginning at 4:00 pm.
