Bowling Green High School product Whitney Steelman’s goal put Wofford (3-1-1) on top in the seventh minute, thanks to a pass from fellow senior Kara Bennewitz.

Western freshman Mallory Outerbridge paced the Lady Toppers with seven shots, five on goal. Junior Kristin Cocchiarella attempted six shots.
