Just 3:48 later, it was Colubiale again this time on an assist by Alexis Bredeau and Sonia O'Neill. For Colubiale it was the first two scores of the season.

The Osprey defense has been the story of the weekend, beginning with goalkeeper Victoria Ekeli. The senior goalkeeper made four saves, two in each half for her first shutout of the season. The Ospreys defense has not allowed a goal in the last 178:07 and now has two shutouts this season.

From Coach Confer
About the game
"This was a good result for us, Presbyterian fought us hard. The difference in this game for us was our bench, we were able to make numerous changes and the level of play didn't change.

The Key Players
"Hanna Parado was outstanding for us today in the midfield, her defensive presence was huge for us not only today but the entire weekend. It was great to get Krista (Colubiale) going on the offensive side, she has been working very hard and has been close on a couple of occasions this season."

Up Next: The Ospreys will return home for a five-game home stand this weekend beginning on Friday against Wofford.
