DANVILLE, Va. — Meredith College scored three first-half goals en route to a 6-1 victory over Averett University on Saturday at the Cougar Den.

Averett freshman Karen Endresen (Bergen, Norway/U-Pihl) cut the Meredith lead to 4-1 on a goal midway through the second half, but the Avenging Angels added two more goals late to pull away.

Meredith (10-3, 3-1 USA South) got on the board first when Anna Buryk scored 15 minutes in. Kelsey Hukee added a goal almost nine minutes later and Ayla Koc found Alex Calvert for a score late in the first half.

Meredith outshot Averett 22-7 on the afternoon.

The loss was Averett's first at home this season. The Cougars (7-3-1, 2-2 USA South) return to action next Saturday at home against Christopher Newport.
