FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Lynchburg College came out firing early and finished with the 7-1 win over the Methodist University women's soccer team Sunday afternoon.

Kwiatkowski notched her second goal of the game in the 55th minute before Methodist prevented the shutout with a goal from Lisa Paschal in the 58th minute. Tia Beckwith passed the long ball over the defense allowing Paschal to run onto it and slot it past the Hornets' goalkeeper.

Methodist will take the road next weekend to face Meredith and Peace.
