NEWBERRY, SC - The Newberry College Lady Indians scored in the third minute of play and never looked back, as they defeated the Lincoln Memorial University Lady Railsplitters, 4-0, in NCAA Division II women's soccer action Saturday. (Box score)

Mandi Butler (Holly Springs, N.C.) scored her third goal of the season in the 62nd minute by heading in an inswinging Woiwode free kick to extend the lead.

Brooke Tumblin (Florence, S.C.) closed the scoring in the 89th minute by putting Woiwode's low cross into the back of the net for the final 4-0 score line.

Danielle Beckerle (St. Louis, Mo.) stopped all seven LMU shots on goal to earn her first shutout of the season and sixth of her career, giving her sole possession of second place in career shutouts at Newberry.

Stephanie Kwoka made nine saves for the Lady Railsplitters, while Heloisa de Oliveira took three shots to lead LMU offensively. Lincoln Memorial drops to 3-3-0 on the season.
