MORGANTOWN -

Meghan Lewis' first game-winner of the season and a standout second half pushed the No. 11 West Virginia women's soccer team past visiting Georgetown, 5-1, Friday evening in the semifinals of the BIG EAST Women's Soccer Championship at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The Mountaineers will play for their third BIG EAST Championship on Sunday, Nov. 6, at noon, against Louisville. The Cardinals posted a 2-1 win over Notre Dame in the first semifinal match this afternoon.

The match was tied at 1-1 after 45 minutes that favored Georgetown. West Virginia came out strong to start the second half when Lewis scored in the 49^th minute. The senior defender sent a banger into the upper left corner for a 2-1 lead.

The Mountaineers would add goals from Frances Silva, Kate Schwindel and Chelsey Corroto to complete the scoring. The five goals match WVU's highest scoring output set last weekend against Seton Hall.

Senior Blake Miller opened the scoring with her team-leading ninth goal of the season to give WVU a 1-0 lead less than four minutes into the contest.

The Hoyas responded with a goal from forward Samantha Baker in the 28^th minute.

Georgetown finished with a 11-10 shot advantage with each team attempting six shots on-goal. GU was paced by Ingrid Wells' three shots.

Nine different Mountaineers took a shot, led by Mallory Smith's two attempts.
