WILSON, N.C. -- Catawba extended its school record of shutout to eight straight after downing host Barton 2-0 in women's soccer action on Wednesday night at the Bulldogs Athletic Complex. The Catawba Indians, ranked 14th in NCAA II, improve to 11-0-1, while Barton falls to 5-5-1.

Catawba dominated the shot total 31-10 and went on top in the 16th minute. Helen Summerell lobbed over the keeper after a long ball from center by Jovana Sanchez. The Lady Indians doubled their advantage in the 61st minute when Katie Beck headed home a corner kick by Kasey Hahn.
