Western Kentucky’s women’s soccer team netted a pair of first-half goals Sunday from Chandler Backes and Tally Bishop and defeated Florida International 2-0 at the WKU Soccer Complex.

The Lady Toppers (5-8-1, 2-4-1 Conference USA) claimed their fifth shutout of the season and second in a row after shutting out Florida Atlantic on Friday. WKU hasn’t allowed a goal in 252 consecutive minutes dating back to the match at Middle Tennessee on Oct. 6.

Bishop found the back of the net for the second straight match for WKU, while Backes moved into a tie for 10th place on the program’s all-time career goal-scoring list with her strike in the 16th minute. Backes, a sophomore, has collected 15 goals in 33 matches at WKU, five of which have come this season.

WKU held a 12-6 edge in total shots and a 5-3 advantage in shots on goal over the Panthersn, led by a match-high trio of shots from Bishop. Backes also had a pair of shots, and both Avery Jacobsen and Deven Jackson put one shot on goal apiece.

For FIU (1-11, 0-7 C-USA), Michaela Rouse had a pair of shots on goal and Emily Baragar added one more.

Allison Leone notched her fifth solo shutout while playing all 90 minutes and making three saves for WKU. FIU’s Nevena Stojakovic also manned the posts for all 90 minutes, surrendering the two early goals and making three stops.

WKU will return to action at 7 p.m. Thursday at UTSA.
