HUNTINGTON, W.Va – A late penalty kick goal from sophomore Bailey Fisher sent the Marshall women's soccer team (7-8-1) to a 1-0 win over Coastal Carolina (3-11-2).
Fisher's team-leading seventh goal of the year in the 81st minute was set up by the Hurricane native's run into the box before being subsequently fouled by the Chanticleer defender.
The goal broke a scoreless deadlock which remained without a goal thanks to four saves from freshman goalkeeper Ashlyn Drayer. The win secured the Chesterland, Ohio native's first clean sheet in goal.
