MORGANTOWN -

Junior Bry McCarthy recorded the first multi-goal game of her career in leading No. 23-ranked West Virginia past Seton Hall, 4-0, in BIG EAST Conference action Friday evening at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The win extended WVU's conference win streak to 12 matches.

The first half was played with a lot of back-and-forth action until McCarthy put the Mountaineers on the board in the 43rd minute. McCarthy made a run up the left side and drove a ball over the head of SHU goalkeeper Elizabeth Bond, landing the shot in the upper right corner for a 1-0 lead.

West Virginia (7-3-0, 3-0-0), winners of five straight, doubled its lead shortly after intermission on a second goal from McCarthy. The Ajax, Ontario, native bent in a corner kick at the near post in the 48^th minute.

The Mountaineers attempted a season-high 29 shots and 13 corner kicks on the night, while the Pirates (6-2-2, 2-1-0) were credited with 11 shots and four corners.

WVU added goals in the 57^th and 75^th minutes from sophomore forwards Frances Silva and Emily Dillon.

Silva and senior forward Blake Miller each took a game-best four shots, while goalkeepers Sara Keane and Kristene Mumby combined for WVU's fifth shutout of the season.

Bond finished with a career-high 10 saves and teammate Amie Ruhe attempted a team-best four shots for Seton Hall.

WVU returns to action against Rutgers on Sunday, Sept. 25, at 1 p.m., a match that will be televised on CBS Sports Network. Calling the action for Sunday's national telecast is Eric Frede with Tammy Blackburn handling color commentary.
