Offensive Assault Leads Warhawks To 4-2 Victory Over Edward Waters

The Warhawks scored three goals in the first half

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The AUM women's soccer team scored three goals in the first half and held on for a 4-2 victory over Edward Waters on a rainy midweek contest at the AUM Soccer Complex on Wednesday.

The Warhawks got two goals from Michaelyn Manning to aid in the effort as they improved to 2-1 on the season. EWU scored twice early in the second half to pull within a score before Manning's second goal in the 87th minute secured the win in the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

  • EWU cam out on the attack in the second half, scoring in the 50th and 53rd minutes to pull within 3-2.
