WINCHESTER, Va. – The Shenandoah University women's soccer team reached the .500 mark on the season thanks to a 10-0 ODAC victory over Hollins Tuesday evening.
The Hornets (6-6, 3-1 ODAC) scored five goals in each half in dispatching Hollins (0-10, 0-4).

Cottoms was one of six different women to score at least one goal on the evening. Freshman Julia McDevitt had three goals with Alexandra Berrich and Averi Rosena each adding two.
McCleaf had two assists on the evening and Rosena finished her night by setting up McDevitt's penultimate goal.
De'Nae Whittington rounded out the multiple point scorers with two assists.
SU scored in the 2nd, 12th, 15th, 20th, 30th, 65th, 69th (2: 68:21, 68:51), 75th and 82nd minutes in the win.
