MONTEVALLO, Ala. | Young Harris College scored a goal late in each half as the Mountain Lions recorded a 2-0 Peach Belt Conference women's soccer shutout over the University of Montevallo Wednesday (Sept. 21) afternoon at Varsity Field.

The Mountain Lions improved to 3-0-2 overall and to 2-0-0 in the league while the Falcons slipped 2-3-0 and 1-1-0. Young Harris returns to action Saturday (Sept. 24) at 1 p.m. when they host No. 19 Armstrong State University in a 1 p.m. PBC tilt at the YHC Soccer and Lacrosse Field.

Young Harris took a 1-0 lead at the 40:44 mark as Vanessa Barcelleiro was tripped by a Montevallo defender in the box. Laisy Scardazzi converted the Mountain Lion penalty kick as she put the ball in the left corner of the net for the score.

The Mountain Lions, who outshot Montevallo 14-12, scored an insurance goal at the 87:32 mark to open a 2-0 lead. Scardazzi passed the ball to Lucero Robayo at the top left corner of the box. Robayo made a nifty move to beat the Montevallo defender and knock the ball into the right corner of the goal. It was Robayo's second goal of the 2016 campaign.

The reigning PBC Goalkeeper of the Week Nicole Medeiros stopped four shots as she recorded her second consecutive shutout and third of the season. Sydney Young (one) and Judith Bayon (one) combined to save two shots for Montevallo in goal.
